Darwin Nunez’s missed penalty against PSG played a part in Liverpool’s Champions League exit, but he shouldn’t shoulder all the blame for the team going out.
Taking a penalty in such a high-pressure moment takes real bravery, and although it didn’t work out for the Uruguayan, he was clearly emotional after the match.
Cameras caught Arne Slot’s reaction when he reunited with Nunez after the shootout, showing the manager’s empathy and support for his player.
Even though Nunez may not be the favorite among some fans, no one wants to see the 25-year-old suffer, especially given his past struggles with confidence.
Daniel Sturridge mentioned that the squad would be “devastated” by the result, and Nunez is likely among those feeling it the most.
It was clear how much it hurt Nunez to feel like he let Liverpool down.
To be fair, his overall display in Paris was an improvement from the second leg, where Liverpool struggled to create any real chances as the match dragged on.
French media were harsh in their criticism, giving him a 1/10 rating for his performance — a tough assessment, though his influence on the game was limited.
Now, both Nunez and the team must shift focus to the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, with hopes of bouncing back immediately.
With new injuries picked up against Luis Enrique’s side, it’s time for Liverpool to rally together and remind everyone why they’re still one of the best teams in the country.
