ļ»æLiverpool forward Luis Diaz experiences a joyous dual celebration as he clinches the Man of the Match title in the Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham and welcomes the arrival of his newborn daughter, Charlotte. Just 24 hours following his outstanding performance, Diaz, alongside his longtime girlfriend, Gera Ponce, shares the delightful news on social media, coinciding with their seventh anniversary.
Ponce expresses her joy on Instagram, describing Charlotte as a long-anticipated and cherished addition to their lives. Choosing to expand their family on their anniversary, the couple receives the surprise news a month later that their baby is on the way. On January 25, their little girl is born in a Porto, Portugal hospital. Ponce expresses gratitude for their daughter, anticipating laughter, love, and memorable moments that Charlotte will bring into their lives. She notes that the 25th of each month will now hold special significance for their family.
For Diaz, the birth of his second child closely follows his pivotal goal in the Carabao Cup semi-final. He showcases exceptional skills by controlling a cross-field pass from Jarell Quansah before confidently scoring the opening goal against Fulham.
Post-match, Diaz and the Liverpool squad enjoy a day off before returning to training at the AXA Centre to prepare for an upcoming FA Cup tie against Norwich City at Anfield.
As Ponce chooses to give birth in Porto, where Diaz previously played for three-and-a-half years, it reŠ¼ains to be seen when he will return to Merseyside to rejoin the team.
