After Liverpool’s match at the San Siro, new signing Federico Chiesa was seen offering Darwin Nunez advice following the Uruguayan’s ambitious stoppage-time shot.
This interaction highlighted Nunez’s mixed performances since joining Liverpool in 2022 for £64 million.
While praised for his work ethic and chaos-inducing style, Nunez’s inconsistency has divided opinion among fans.
Despite 18 goals and 13 assists last season, Nunez ended the campaign without a goal in his last 10 appearances.
Under new head coach Arne Slot, Nunez has struggled to secure a regular starting spot, playing just 84 minutes across four substitute appearances this season.
Slot has favored Diogo Jota in the No. 9 role, with Luis Diaz excelling on the left wing.
Nunez now finds himself slipping down the pecking order, possibly behind Cody Gakpo and Chiesa.
With Liverpool facing a congested schedule, including five games in 15 days, Nunez may soon have an opportunity to prove his worth.
The upcoming matches against Bournemouth and West Ham in the Carabao Cup could offer him a chance to break back into the starting XI.
