Luis Diaz revealed he was genuinely surprised to play alongside Harry Kane, who has been outstanding for Bayern Munich in the early 2025-26 season.
From the very first days at Bayern Munich, Luis Diaz praised Harry Kane highly. The Colombian forward admitted he was amazed by his new teammate's versatility, from scoring and assisting to contributing defensively. According to Diaz, Kane is not just a “goal-scoring machine” as he had seen at Tottenham, but a player who does everything possible to help the team win.
Previously, Luis Diaz joined Bayern last summer from Liverpool for a fee of £65.5 million. Although new to the Bundesliga, he quickly adapted and made an impact with 3 goals and 3 assists in just 5 matches. Diaz’s rapid integration helped the “Bavarians” maintain a perfect start. Under coach Vincent Kompany, Bayern defeated major teams like RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen domestically. They also won the German Super Cup, advanced in the German Cup, and began the Champions League with a 3-1 win over Chelsea, where Kane scored twice at Allianz Arena. Thanks to this, Bayern has won all 8 games across all competitions in the 2025-26 season, confirming their dominant strength.
While Diaz impressed with his quick adaptation, Harry Kane has been even more explosive. After just 5 Bundesliga rounds, the England captain has scored 10 goals and provided 3 assists. Notably, his recent brace against Werder Bremen brought Kane to 100 goals after only 104 games for Bayern, making him the fastest player to reach 100 goals in the top European leagues in the 21st century. This achievement further proves that Kane is not only a Bundesliga star but also an icon of scoring efficiency in European football.
Speaking to BILD, Diaz openly expressed his surprise: "Harry Kane is the most impressive! Even back when he was at Liverpool, playing for Tottenham, I knew he scored many goals. But when I first trained with him, I thought: 'This guy is incredible!'".<*!> He emphasized: "He can do everything: score, create plays, even defend. Kane completely surprised me. I’m very happy to be alongside him now."
Diaz’s acknowledgment highlights Kane’s influence, a striker who shines not just by scoring but also by shaping the team’s play. With an impressive start in both Bundesliga and Champions League, the Kane-Diaz duo promises to be the most feared strike partnership in Europe this season.
With his current unstoppable form, can Harry Kane lead Bayern Munich to conquer both the Bundesliga and Champions League in the 2025-26 season?
