Luis Diaz makes Liverpool promise after Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid

Luis Diaz has shared an emotional message on Instagram reflecting on his first few months as a Liverpool player and has made a promise to supporters after Sunday's parade.

The Colombia international made the move to Merseyside in the January transfer window and has already become a standout performer under Jurgen Klopp. He's already scored six goals and registered five assists in his first 26 appearances for the Reds.

Less than a month after joining the club, he started the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea and secured his first piece of silverware as a Liverpool player. Earlier this month, he picked up his second winners medal following the FA Cup final win over the London club.

Despite heartbreak in Paris following the 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League final, Diaz experienced first hand how special the club is during the parade through the city on Sunday. He's since shared a series of images on social media along with a heartfelt message to supporters.

He said on Instagram: "February fourth was the day you all welcomed me as just one more in the family. Since that day I’ve been dreaming awake, living what I have deeply wished for all my life.

"And now that you’ve showed me that dreams come true let me assure you we will keep dreaming together. So with all there’s left to win, let it be, because in here I know: I will never walk alone."

Speaking earlier this month, Klopp explained the impact the 25-year-old has had on the squad this season. The Liverpool boss told reporters: "There's enough space in each squad in the world for a world class player, that's why we were so desperate to get him.

"Really, thank god we made that decision as it helped everywhere (in the team)."
