Darwin Nunez’s brief spat with Pep Guardiola drew some attention at the final whistle of Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at Manchester City this afternoon, but the Uruguayan had a passionate reaction of a different kind shortly afterwards.
In footage shared by the Reds’ official social media channels, the 24-year-old was seen with some of his teammates applauding the away fans who were up nice and early for the lunchtime kick-off at the Etihad Stadium.
Upon hearing his name being chanted in appreciation by the travelling Kopites, the Uruguay striker grabbed the LFC crest on his shirt and pointed to it vigorously.
Even though it was another game where Nunez passed up a decent chance, his clumsy first touch costing him after being played through by Dominik Szoboszlai in the first half, his passion on the pitch and love for Liverpool ensures that he’ll continue to be a darling of the Reds’ support.

Apart from fuck off city, feels worth pointing out to the multitude of daft cunts who support them that the Mancunian based referee disallowed the goal for an obvious foul & VAR couldn’t find a clear & obvious error with the decision, yer big cheating manc cunts
Well done 👍. It’s hard to win in Manchester city pitch especially you are one goal down and come back to secure one point.But more have to be done in the defend and midfield area.Liverpool should have step up their midfield to assist the flow of attack.
