Overview
- A VAR review in Bayern’s 2-2 draw with Augsburg on October 10 ruled Josip Stanisic offside in the build-up and overturned a goal Díaz thought had ended his barren run.
- Díaz has now gone six competitive matches without a goal or assist, extending a slump that contrasts with his 26-goal, 23-assist debut season for Bayern.
- Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl publicly defended Díaz on Monday, saying he is on an “upward trajectory” and that the club expects him to “come good again.”
- The club has been managing Díaz’s workload after heavy minutes last season and international duty, including resting him during a recent friendly window to protect fitness and sharpness.
- Bayern’s strong team form, highlighted by a 5-0 Champions League win and a top-three league position, has eased immediate pressure on Díaz as the club prepares for upcoming European fixtures.
