Liverpool former striker calls Darwin Nunez ‘one of the best today’

Luis Suarez, the former Liverpool striker now playing for Inter Miami, praised his Uruguayan teammate Darwin Nunez, referring to him as “one of the best strikers in the world.” Suarez made this comment after an impressive performance for Inter Miami, where he scored two goals and provided two assists in a 5-0 victory over Orlando City.

During a post-match interview, Suarez was asked about his former team’s performance, in which Nunez scored the winning goal for them in the dying minutes of the game, leading to a 1-0 victory. Suarez’s endorsement of Nunez highlights the respect and admiration he has for his compatriot’s abilities on the field.

He responded saying:

“Yes I saw [Darwin’s goal]. I am so happy for Liverpool and I am so happy for Darwin. He is one of the best strikers in the world today.”
