When Penalties Go South, Call Suarez!…
Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez has joined the exclusive club of players who’d rather kick penalties into orbit than the back of the net. During a tense shootout with PSG, our dear Darwin, along with pal Curtis Jones, mailed their chances straight to the bin, shooting Liverpool out of the Champions League. But Hey, when life gives you lemons, who better than Luis Suarez to turn them into a lemonade pep talk?
With wise words, Suarez told Nunez, “Get up and keep going, as always.” Nunez responded like a champ on social media, and Suarez chimed back with his affirmation, “Up the scorer,” proving support runs in Uruguayan veins. Nunez, who’s hit seven balls into the net this season, needs a bit of that upbeat energy after his one-goal wonder in nine Champions League battles and a rather quiet five goals over 23 Premier League marathons.
Liverpool’s brainy brass might be thinking of reinforcements, scouting for a rock-solid striker while pondering if Diogo Jota or Luis Diaz is the future goal machine. But until plans hatch, Nunez stays in the picture, especially after assisting Harvey Elliott’s stunner against PSG. With PSG marching on to face Aston Villa, it sure looks like they’ll need more of that red-hot Suarez spirit!
