Darwin Nunez is some football player, you know?
The Uruguayan was lambasted by fans and pundits alike in his first season for Liverpool after a big-money move away from Benfica.
He was missing clear-cut chances, not counter-pressing to the standard we’ve come to expect from a first-teamer under Jurgen Klopp… though much of the critique, coming from beyond the borders of Merseyside, was overblown.
Fast forward to March of 2024 and the 24-year-old is in the form of his life, scoring goals for fun and pinging balls from the middle of the park with the technical acuity of Thiago Alcantara.
