Video: Luis Diaz scores first goal for Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid in Champions League QF

Bayern Munich dominated but couldn’t translate that into the scoreboard. That was until Luis Diaz snuck in behind Real Madrid’s defense and put a low-driven shot past Lunin to give his team a 1-0 lead in the first leg of the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.

Bayern Munich held possession, and Real Madrid were content with limiting their attacks to counter-moves led by Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. Manuel Neuer held strong and kept his team in the game. All the German side needed was to score one, and the Colombian star did just that.

A great combination between Harry Kane, Serge Gnabry, and Luis Diaz unlocked Real Madrid’s defensive system, and the “Guajiro” made no mistake one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

Real Madrid argued for offside

As soon as the ball went in the net, Real Madrid players such as Lunin and Alvaro Carreras raised their hands in a clear, universal sign of calling for offside. However, the assistant referee didn’t raise his flag—and for good reason.

Alvaro Carreras—who argued for an offside—was caught well behind the rest of Real Madrid’s line of defense. As a result, every Bayern Munich player was onside, including Diaz, who scored his fifth goal of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League.
