No longer an agent of chaos, Darwin Nunez's new nickname drives fans wild

Among the list of Uruguayan internationals that coach Marcelo Bielsa has called up for his 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the name of Darwin Nunez is one of those that has attracted the most attention so far, highlighting this fact the X account of LFC Transfer Room who seems to be in total agreement with the nickname that the Reds striker has here in the Americas.  LFC Transfer Room quoted the Uruguayan national team's tweet informing about the arrival of Darwin "Pantera" Nunez to the squad that is already training in Barranquilla, Colombia, reading in the text of the Reds information account something about the nicknames of some strikers, naming the "Niño" for Fernando Torres, the "Pistolero" for Luis Suarez and now the "Pantera" for Darwin Nunez.

It seems that this nickname for the Reds striker has been well received by fans who see their player as this spectacular animal, with some having grammatical doubts about the masculine and feminine aspects of this nickname that has been mentioned more and more.

The physical characteristics of this animal can fit in with the fierce and insistent style of play that South American players have, being the Reds accomplices of the great work that players from this part of the world have been doing for a long time, just by giving the example of Luis Suarez who is recognised in the team for his great dedication and work in each of the games he played between 2010 and 2014.

<strong>Nunez must justify his nickname  </strong>

Although the start of the season for Darwin has been shaky with exhibitions of all kinds, this player has shown a completely different character to his first months in the team, having now a greater participation in plays away from his goal, collaborating with key passes and situations that end in goals that make the Reds win, subtracting this player only to have a greater productivity in the final area to score more goals that make him feared as the panther that today pretends to be.
