Liverpool’s striker secured a crucial victory with a 99th-minute goal against Nottingham Forest last Saturday, ensuring their lead at the Premier League summit. In the aftermath of the triumph, former Liverpool player and fellow Uruguayan, Suarez, who graced Anfield from 2011 to 2014, commended Nunez.

Following his two-goal performance for Inter Miami in their 5-0 victory over Orlando City on Saturday, Suarez remarked, “Yes I saw [the 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.”

Despite facing criticism for his displays and wastefulness in front of goal at Liverpool, Nunez has still managed to score 14 times and provide 11 assists this season. He has emerged as a key figure in Liverpool’s pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple.

While Suarez’s Miami prepares for a CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 first-leg clash against Nashville on Friday, Nunez’s Liverpool returns to Europa League action with a last-16 encounter away to Sparta Praha on Thursday.
