Sunday was Luis Diaz’s father’s emotional 55th birthday, as Liverpool flew him and his whole family to Merseyside for the holidays.

After the terrible event of Luis Manuel Diaz and wife Cilenis Marulanda’s kidnapping in Colombia, the team has provided all the necessary support for their number seven.

Although Diaz’s mother Marulanda was quickly saved, Diaz Sr. spent over two weeks in the custody of terrorists prior to his release.

After that, he saw his kid again and saw Colombia defeat Brazil 2-1 in Barranquilla, where he scored twice. After that, he and his family took a plane to Liverpool.

The Diaz family will spend Christmas on Merseyside, so the club arranged a private plane for them. Diaz Sr. watched Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Man City from the stands.

Additionally, Diaz’s father turned fifty-five the next day, so the Liverpool winger’s home was filled with festivities.

The celebration, which was planned by Diaz’s wife Gera Ponce, brought Diaz Sr. and Marulanda together with their kids, including the brothers Jesus and Roller as well as sister Anny.

On Instagram, Diaz Sr. said, “I want to thank God for allowing me to celebrate another year of life.

“My family, my wife, my children, my daughter-in-law for making me spend this beautiful day [like this].

“God bless you, I always love you with all my heart.”

Though their exact duration in the UK is unknown, the Diaz family is anticipated to stay in Merseyside through Christmas and probably into New Year’s.

Jurgen Klopp discussed the club’s part in ensuring Diaz Sr., his wife, and their kids returned home safely following Saturday’s stalemate at the Etihad.

He told Sky Sports: “They are here now so he will have more moments to share.

“I’m happy for the whole family that they are together and everything is fine. The club helped them a lot, it was really cool.

“With all the bad things in that situation, there was nothing good about it, just how that whole group reacted was really good.

“Now they are here, so that’s cool. It’s a good combination for Christmas obviously, for the family.”
