A Colombian guerrilla movement has said they will release his father.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said: &#8216;It&#8217;s a wonderful moment, the most important thing is that his father gets released. For us super important goal and for him very important.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He always can do that, he&#8217;s always involved in special things. We didn&#8217;t know how long he could play but that&#8217;s not the important part today.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/05\/18\/77429845-0-image-a-1_1699210115044.jpg\" height=\"460\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool forward Luis Diaz came off the bench to head a last-gasp equaliser at Luton Town<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/05\/18\/77429973-0-image-a-2_1699210335355.jpg\" height=\"633\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Second-half substitute Diaz headed home a Harvey Elliott cross in time added on on Sunday<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/05\/19\/77430893-12713117-image-a-12_1699213115939.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool boss\u00a0Jurgen Klopp embraces Diaz before he came on as a substitute on Sunday<\/p>\n<p>Reds goalkeeper Alisson said: &#8216;It says a lot about Diaz&#8217;s character, his inner strength. Not many people imagine what he&#8217;s going through, we feel his pain but for him it&#8217;s a different level.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Football sometimes in the bad moment can bring joy to someone who is struggling. Football is a slice of joy for Lucho in this time. We are with him 100 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Football always surprises in a good way, it happened with me when I was going through a difficult moment. When you are on the pitch you are focused on doing the job.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Really difficult, we had to play against a deep defending team. They did a really good job today. We didn&#8217;t play a bad game, we missed some chances. It&#8217;s disappointing to not win but we respected the opponent playing bravely on the pitch.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool were left ruing Darwin Nunez&#8217;s misses. He saw a powerful shot strike the bar in the first half and another sting the gloves of Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski in the second period.<\/p>\n<p>The result left Liverpool third on 24 points, three behind leaders Manchester City. Luton inched out of the relegation area to go 17th on six points, two off the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12713117\/Jurgen-Klopp-comforts-Luis-Diaz-Liverpool-forward-scores-equaliser-Luton-following-kidnapping-dad-celebrates-unveiling-freedom-Papa-shirt.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jurgen Klopp comforts Luis Diaz after Liverpool forward scores equaliser at Luton following kidnapping of his dad&#8230;
