Luis Diaz believes joining Bayern Munich from Liverpool last summer "was the right choice" for his career.

After three-and-a-half years on Merseyside, where he won the Premier League, FA Cup and EFL Cup, Diaz completed a £65.5m (€75m) move to Bayern.

The 29-year-old has impressed in his first campaign with the Bavarian club, directly contributing to 38 goals (23 goals, 15 assists) in 40 games across all competitions (not including the Club World Cup).

Only Harry Kane (54), Kylian Mbappe (44), Michael Olise (41) and Erling Haaland (40) have registered more direct goal involvements among players in the top five European leagues this season.

Bayern are on course for a potential treble this term, and Diaz was pleased with his decision to join Vincent Kompany's side.

Diaz told ESPN: "Deciding to join Bayern was the right choice. I'm really happy and I enjoy every match.

"I feel great, I'm in good shape, and that means I'm ready to help the team.

"We have a clear plan, we're a very close-knit group, and that shows on the pitch."

Diaz scored in Bayern's 2-1 win over Real Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday.

Kane also got on the scoresheet, while Neuer became the first goalkeeper since detailed data collection to record nine saves against Madrid in a knockout match at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Despite their victory, Diaz admitted Bayern, who registered 20 shots in the win, should have scored more goals in the first leg.

"We'd already analysed Real Madrid, and the move [regarding the opening goal] went exactly as we'd planned," Diaz said.

"We felt more comfortable as the game progressed, won the ball back more often and controlled the game better. That's what we like to do.

"We're very happy, but we're left with a slight feeling of disappointment that we could have scored one or two more goals. We played a great match against a very tough opponent."
