Recently, Luis Díaz has come under heavy discussion on social media for allegedly attending an influencer event on the same day as Diogo Jota’s funeral, prompting a wave of criticism from Liverpool fans.
A day earlier, foreign influencer Jhdelac Ruz posted an update on their social media account (@jhdelac.ruz777), sharing a photo taken with Luis Díaz. The post sparked heated debate online, with many speculating that the meeting took place on the day of Jota’s funeral—a funeral that Díaz notably did not attend.
It’s also worth noting that in an interview with Colombian channel WinSports, Díaz said he “will never forget Jota.” In that interview, he was wearing the exact same outfit and hat as in the photo with the influencer, suggesting both events likely happened on the same day.
Luis Díaz has since become a trending topic on social media, as fans criticize his choice to interact with influencers rather than attend his teammate Diogo Jota’s funeral. Some foreign fans pointed out that when Díaz’s father was kidnapped in La Guajira, Jota was among the first to publicly support him.
