“It’s crazy”: Federico Valverde reacts to what the Liverpool 24-year-old did last night
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez was on target as his beloved Uruguay beat Brazil 2-0 in a World Cup qualifier.
Post-match headlines may have been about Neymar’s injury, but the Liverpool striker deserves credit for his performance.
During the night, Darwin Nunez took to Instagram to express his joy at the win and was thanked by players and teammates around the world.
Real Madrid star Federico Valverde wrote “this is crazy” in the comments section of his post and his teammate Cody Gakpo praised his efforts.
The reaction in the comments section showed how important it was to Marcelo Bielsa’s side. The win moves the team up to second place behind leaders and world champions Argentina, while Brazil and Venezuela, who did not qualify for Qatar, are currently fourth after four matches.
Darwin Nunez’s message to fans
“A night in history,” wrote the Liverpool forward. “Let’s go to Uruguay.”
Confidence for Nunez
Liverpool will be hoping Nunez returns to Merseyside and will use that fuel to propel Jurgen Klopp’s side up the Premier League table.
The Reds will be back in action as the Merseyside Derby is the first early kick-off on Saturday.
That’s when European action resumes as Liverpool hope to maintain their 100% start and the League Cup continues next month.
