Who else calls Nunez "wooden leg"?

The Uruguayan striker played brilliantly, becoming the fulcrum of Liverpool's attack with impressive statistics (according to OptaJoe).

Ronaldo: "Darwin Nunez has different qualities compared to the rest."

"Wooden Saint" Nunez created an unbelievable record

Liverpool showed its strength in the Europa League round of 16 when defeating Sparta Prague with a score of 5-1. Darwin Nunez played brilliantly with a double goal. The remaining goals belonged to Alexis Mac Allister, Luis Diaz and Dominik Szoboszlai. Sparta Prague's only goal came from an own goal by defender Conor Bradley.

Nunez became the highlight of Liverpool in this match. The Uruguayan striker left a strong impression with two classy goals. After an erratic first season, Nunez gradually regained his goal-scoring instinct in his second season with The Kop.

Nunez is in good form

Statistics prove that Nunez is in top form. According to data from OptaJoe, the 24-year-old star was involved in 12 goals after 12 matches for Liverpool in 2024 (including 8 goals and 4 assists), the most of all Premier League players (equal to by Kevin de Bruyne).

In the context of Salah's absence when returning to serve the Egyptian national team and being injured, Nunez shined, shouldering Liverpool's attack. Besides his goal-scoring ability, Nunez also contributes positively to the team's overall playing style.

Coach Jurgen Klopp after the match could not help but be satisfied with Darwin Nunez's performance. But he believes that his student will explode even more in the future.

Nunez did not disappoint Klopp's trust

Coach Jurgen Klopp shared:

"Darwin Nunez is not at his best yet. He will continue to develop and improve further.

He is always a dangerous threat to the opponent's goal. He is very happy playing for Liverpool. This is truly a great guy."

Darwin Nunez faced many doubts with a series of unbelievable misses in front of the opponent's goal. But coach Jurgen Klopp always tried to protect his student. And that trust is gradually being rewarded.
