Colombia's long-time player and star James Rodríguez did not hold back in praising his teammate Luis Díaz and his chances of winning the "Ballon d'Or" award:

"L. Díaz and the 'Ballon d'Or' award, why not? For me, he is already among the five best players in the world."

This footballer had an incredible season with Bayern Munich.

If the Colombians make it to the final, then L. Díaz will have the chance to win this prize."

29-year-old Luis Díaz scored 26 goals in 51 matches last season.
