Nuñez still misses every goal, but has already humbled Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi

The Reds took a breath of air and closed with consecutive victories against Aston Villa and Leicester City in the Premier League, where they will say goodbye to the year 2022 in sixth position with 28 points, close to the privileged places that grant playing in European competitions for next season. These victories delighted the fans, but not all the players, especially Darwin Núñez, who continues to have wet powder.

Darwin had a bittersweet World Cup, although it was his first World Cup as a professional, he also had poor numbers, as in almost 250 minutes, he could not score a single goal, moreover, Uruguay was eliminated in the Group Stage after equalising on points with South Korea. This hastened Núñez's light holiday, reporting to the Reds on tour in Dubai a few days ago, where they lost to Lyon and beat AC Milan.

It was the latter match against the Rossoneri that helped to restore the 23-year-old's confidence, as his brace made it look like the 'Pichon' was back. Faced with the absence of Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz in attack, Klopp has placed his trust in the former SL Benfica, but he has not responded, at least in the last three games in which he started and left blank in goal for Manchester City, Aston Villa and Leicester City, respectively.

But this situation that the youth player of Peñarol of Uruguay is living, does not take away his smile, as he was recently captured by a fan in Merseyside who asked him about who he preferred, Messi or Ronaldo, to which the striker answered confidently, Salah, Mohamed Salah, thus choosing his teammate and world star over these two stars of global football. Even within the video you can see how Salah gives a small smile when he hears his name.

<strong>For Nunez, Salah is better than Cristiano and Messi</strong>

The Egyptian Pharaoh is on fire, having scored in three of Liverpool's last five games, and Salah has a better record than Ronaldo, who once again opted for the money and left for Saudi Arabia. Nunez and Salah will spend the New Year in a bit of celebration as they prepare for their next game in London against Brentford on Matchday 19 of the Premier League.
