The Reds attacker has fulfilled the dream of a couple of young Uruguayans

After the bad start that Liverpool had in this Premier League season, things seem to be starting to work even if injuries are still the order of the day in the institution of Merseyside, because Jurgen Klopp and his players have made a good game that ended in victory against the runner-up of the competition says a lot about a group that has to reinvent itself almost every week to try to rescue important points from their games.

Part of this great resurgence of the Reds is due to the great performances of players like Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and finally Darwin Núñez can be included in the list, Uruguayan striker despite not having a lot of minutes against Manchester City, he was seen with that commitment that should show the one who is shaping up to be the new scorer of the institution. Having shaken off the pressure of scoring goals and being taken more into account by Jurne Klopp has made Nunez happier on the pitch.

Part of Nunez's resurgence was reflected in a simple gesture after the game at Anfield, as the striker quickly identified a couple of young fans in the crowd who had made the trip from his native Uruguay to watch the game and see their idol in action, and Nunez thanked them by handing them his shirt. Perhaps the fact that both children were wearing the shirt of Penarol, the striker's former club, meant that he was able to identify them immediately.

Although many on Merseyside continue to question and criticise the arrival of Nunez as the new replacement for Sadio Mané, in Uruguay there are still youngsters who trust in the talent of their compatriot, hoping that he will follow the same path that Luis Suárez had a few years ago with this institution, because at the end of the day if this player ends up being a killer for Liverpool, he will surely also be one when he wears the Charrúa national team jersey.

Despite having a very difficult start in the red colours of Liverpool, the player has slowly but surely been winning the hearts of the Anfield fans with his performances and the goals he has been able to score in recent matches. Although he has yet to justify his high purchase price, the striker has already begun to show glimpses of his quality in both the Premier League and the Champions League, with perhaps his best display against Rangers.
