Robbie Fowler believes January signing Luis Diaz is the man of the moment and must start the Champions League final for Liverpool against Real Madrid in Paris.
The Colombian was on the scoresheet against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening, with a slice of luck via a deflection, helping the Reds to rescue a point against Antonio Conte's side. He now has six goals in 22 appearances since moving to Anfield in January and former Kop goal machine Fowler is backing the 24-year-old to help bring European club football's top prize back to Merseyside this month.
Speaking after the Spurs match, about whether Diaz would start the Champions League final if it was tomorrow, Fowler said: " All day long. I think he’s a wonderful player. We said before the game, one of Liverpool’s strengths is certainly him. I know there are other players who are dangerous. But he’s one of those players who gets the ball and he attacks the defender. I probably would have wanted to see a little bit more - certainly in the first half - get at ( Cristian) Romero a little more.
