After not being active this weekend in the Premier League, Liverpool broke ranks and their international stars reported to their national teams ahead of the next FIFA World Cup in September. One of them is the Uruguayan Darwin Núñez, who lit up the networks with a picture with Facundo Pellistri, an element of Manchester United.

The photo posted on 18 September from Facu Pellistri's personal Twitter account (@FPellistri07) caught the attention of Liverpool fans, who were divided over the gesture. Within the striker's timeline one can see tweets in support and others against, as the biggest rivalry on the Island is between the Devils and the Reds.
