Luis Diaz, the winger for Liverpool, conveyed a heartfelt message for his father, who had been abducted, after his team scored a late goal against Luton Town.

The National Liberation Army (ELN) is considered a guerrilla group rather than a terrorist organization by some governments and organizations. However, it is important to note that opinions on its designation vary, and it has been involved in acts of violence and terrorism in Colombia.

On Sunday, Diaz started the match on the bench. In the 83rd minute, just three minutes after Tahith Chong scored to put Luton in the lead, Jurgen Klopp brought Diaz into the game. To rescue his team from a potentially embarrassing loss, the winger scored a crucial header from a splendid cross by Harvey Elliot in the 95th minute. After his significant goal, Diaz lifted his shirt to display a message dedicated to his father, who remains in captivity and has not been released.

Looking at the broader context, despite the personal tragedy he has endured, Klopp affirmed that the 26-year-old displayed strong dedication during his return to the team earlier in the week. The German manager decided to include him in the matchday squad for the Luton game due to his outstanding performance on the training field.

What’s next for the Reds? Their upcoming match is in the Europa League, slated for Thursday against Toulouse.
