Luis Díaz used the spotlight of Super Bowl LX week to send a message of support to fellow Colombian Christian González, who is preparing to compete in the biggest game of the NFL season. The Bayern Munich star highlighted the pride of seeing a Colombian reach such a stage in one of the most-watched sporting events in the world.
Díaz, a key figure for the Bavarian club and a regular with the Colombian national team, emphasized the significance of González’s journey, praising the effort, discipline, and consistency required to reach the elite level of professional sports – such as the NFL, a league where very few Colombians have managed to stand out.
“Best of luck to my Colombian brother. Thank you for representing our country at the Super Bowl,” Díaz said while holding a New England cornerback jersey.
Before González, only three players with Colombian roots had reached the NFL. Jairo Peñaranda was the pioneer in 1981, when he suited up for the Los Angeles Rams. Years later, Fuad Reveiz emerged, playing for the Minnesota Vikings in 1995 and leaving a notable mark as a kicker.
