Darwin Núñez reacted to the criticism he receives in Liverpool

Dutch coach Arne Slot's Liverpool have scored more than 90 goals so far in the 2024/2025 season , in which they stand out for being the leaders of the Premier League table and for having directly qualified for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 thanks to their first place in the League Phase standings.

Only 6 of those conversions were scored by Darwin Núñez , who, surprisingly, is far below what he generated, for example, last season when he contributed 18 goals and 13 assists. And as it could not be otherwise, reaching 70 percent of the campaign, the patience of the press and the fans ran out and he began to receive criticism .

In this regard, the Uruguayan striker reacted by sending a message through his official social media accounts, in which he announced that he is working to get out of the bad streak: "I was not the best three weeks ago nor am I the worst now. If I fall, I get up. You will never see me give up. I will give everything until the last day that I am here at Liverpool . Resilience!"

The truth is that so far in 2025 Liverpool have already played 14 games between their commitments for the Premier League , UEFA Champions League , FA Cup and EFL Cup, and Darwin Núñez has only scored twice (in the 2-0 victory against Brentford on January 18). So fans hope that he will improve his statistics in a final stretch in which they will go for the English league and to be protagonists in the European Champions League.

Mohamed Salah, the contrast to Darwin Núñez

The Egyptian Mohamed Salah is in a completely different situation. The striker, who is about to turn 33, has scored 29 goals and provided 20 assists in 37 appearances this season. His numbers are so good that in Europe he is considered a strong candidate for the 2024 Ballon d'Or if Liverpool ends up winning the Premier League and reaches the final stages of the Champions League.

What's next for Liverpool in the Premier, FA Cup and Champions League

The weeks ahead for Liverpool will be crucial for the objectives set for the 2024/2025 campaign. On the one hand, this Sunday, February 23, they will face Manchester City for the 26th matchday of the Premier League. A victory will bring them ever closer to the title that has been postponed since 2020.

As for the EFL Cup, they will face Newcastle in the Final on March 16. In the Champions League, on March 4 or 5 and March 11 or 12, they will face Benfica or Paris Saint Germain (to be decided this Friday, February 21 in the UEFA draw in Nyon) in the Round of 16 .
