Bayern Munich winger Luis Díaz red carded

Football: Hakimi injured, Diaz apologises after heavy tackle

Bayern Munich winger Luis Díaz has expressed his well wishes to Paris Saint-Germain’s Moroccan defender Achraf Hakimi, who was injured during their Champions League match on Tuesday. The incident occurred when Díaz made a reckless tackle on Hakimi, resulting in a red card for the Bayern Munich player.

Despite the setback, Bayern Munich secured a 2-1 win over PSG, marking their 16th consecutive victory in all competitions. Díaz had scored both goals for Bayern before being sent off just before half-time. In a post-match statement on Instagram, Díaz reflected on the emotional evening, acknowledging that football can be unpredictable. He expressed his sadness at not being able to finish the game with his teammates but praised their efforts.

Hakimi’s injury has raised concerns about his availability for upcoming matches. Although PSG has not specified the extent of his injury, the Moroccan international has been a key player for the club, contributing significantly to their 2025 Champions League title. This season, he has started all but two games across all competitions.

Díaz, on the other hand, has been instrumental for Bayern, scoring 10 goals in his first 16 games for the German champions. However, he will miss the Champions League match against Arsenal on November 26 due to his red card. The absence of Díaz may impact Bayern’s performance, but the team’s current form suggests they can adapt to his temporary suspension.

The injury to Hakimi and the suspension of Díaz add a new layer of complexity to the Champions League landscape. As the competition progresses, teams will need to navigate injuries, suspensions, and other challenges to emerge victorious. For now, the focus shifts to the upcoming matches, with Bayern Munich and PSG preparing for their next challenges in the Champions League. The significance of these matches will be evident in the coming weeks, as the teams strive to maintain their positions in the competition.
