Darwin Nunez and the praise he received from Cristiano Ronaldo

Our Darwin Nunez is going through perhaps his best moment since he arrived at Liverpool, because after a very complicated debut season in which he disappointed many fans, it seems that the Uruguayan striker has finally found his place in the team and has surprised many, including superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Nunez arrived at Anfield last year from Benfica when the Reds' board paid €80 million, which made the expectations on him very high. Scoring just 9 goals in the Premier League last season, Nunez was a huge disappointment to fans, although most always assured that it was only a matter of time before the 24-year-old striker proved his talent.

Now, it seems that time has come as Darwin Nunez had a great preseason and despite not starting the Premier League, he has slowly started to earn more playing time and has been praised by legends such as Alan Shearer and Gary Lieneker, but now journalist François Plateau revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo has joined the list of great personalities who have praised Darwin Nunez.

What did Cristiano Ronaldo say about Darwin Nunez?

The Portuguese striker, considered by many as one of the greatest footballers in history, was asked about his favorite strikers today and said that Darwin Nunez is special. "I like the likes of Haaland, Benzema, and Kane, but the Uruguayan playing for Liverpool is something special, I think. He's quick, strong, tall, and possesses a different skill set than the rest. Darwin Nunez," he said.
