The current situation that Darwin Núñez lives is not so different from the one he lived in the last World Cup Qatar 2022, where the Charrúa striker went unnoticed despite arriving with a huge poster in the Middle East, and is that the former player of SL Benfica, did not score a single goal for Uruguay, thus being part of the failure of the Uruguayan team that was left in the group stage.

Today this is not at all different, as the number "27" has accumulated more than a month since his last goal for the Reds, on January 7 against Wolves in the FA Cup. Since that time Nunez has made three appearances, two of them as a substitute for Harvey Elliott, who seems to be winning the race for Liverpool's most expensive signing in history.

Darwin's goal drought has prompted fans and specialists to start making comparisons with his compatriot Luis Suarez, the player who marked an era at Anfield where he played 133 games and scored 82 goals, averaging 0.62 goals per game. Suárez stayed from January 2011 to mid-2014, where he signed for Lionel Messi's Barcelona.

Núñez on a par with Luis Suárez

In the final part of his time on Merseyside, the "Pistolero" earned a juicy 4.5 million, a figure that was well earned for his appearances and contributions, being the club's top scorer in 2012 and 2013, with the only title he lifted being the League Cup in 2012. In contrast, Nunez earns the same amount and is nothing, the shadow of Suarez, a situation that has many Liverpool fans upset.
