Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah could become Liverpool's best duo, which also includes Luis Diaz, if they are to win the Champions League next year. After the match in Germany, both strikers made their presence felt on the scoreboard.
The real reason why Nunez didn't start for Liverpool against RB Leipzig
At the Red Bull Arena, RB Leipzig showed no resistance against the English side, who went for the win from the opening minutes after Andy Robertson's concrete pass to Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the eighth minute.
Darwin Nunez popped up on four more occasions to make it 5-0 in the 49th, 51st, 69th and 90th minutes, which could mean a crushing of the criticism from some Liverpool fans, journalists and detractors that he would struggle to adapt to Klopp's Reds boss.
Darwin Nunez will get the ball today, while second-half goalkeeper Janis Blaswich is sure to dream of the Uruguayan. Although some fans also commented on social media that this is a pre-season game, so don't be too confident in this situation.
Nunez then came off the bench during half-time to net his first goal for the club, converting from penalty spot after Luis Diaz had been brought down. The No.27 had a second moments later, finishing with aplomb after Liverpool had regained possession in midfield in sent him clear inside the area.
Nunez’s hat-trick was completed with 69 minutes showing on the clock when he touched in a low cross from Harvey Elliott from close range. His final act was to cap a fine night’s work for Jürgen Klopp’s side by sweeping in his fourth – and the Reds’ fifth – at the death following a counter-attack spearheaded by Fabio Carvalho.
Darwin Nunez may be the best signing of recent years and could cost a fortune in the future.
