Darwin Nunez is a goal-scoring machine for La Celeste

Darwin Nunez had frustrated Liverpool fans due to his inconsistent performance in the 2023/2024 season. However, when wearing the Uruguayan national team shirt, Nunez has been a goal-scoring machine.

Nunez ended the 2023/2024 season with less than impressive action, the 25-year-old footballer had made speculation about his future when he deleted all Liverpool-related posts on his social media. In terms of performance, Nunez is also not good enough. In his last 10 matches with Liverpool, Nunez failed to score a goal, he only made one assist in that period. That record made Nunez doubtful that he could be the backbone of Uruguay in the 2024 Copa America. However, in Uruguay's first two matches in the group stage, Nunez performed well and always scored goals.

Darwin Nunez scored 11 goals in 36 Premier League matches in the 2023/2024 season. In the Europa League, the 25-year-old player was able to score five goals in 10 matches, the notes are quite good. However, with an expensive transfer value and high expectations, that record is not good enough for Darwin Nunez. His performance at Liverpool and Nunez in Uruguay are like different players. At Liverpool, he is still struggling to appear consistent meanwhile, with Uruguay, Nunez appeared very sharp.

In last seven matches played by Nunez with Uruguay, the former Benfica player always scores goals. Nunez scored 10 goals in just his last seven matches with La Celeste, he is now the main forward of the Uruguayan national team's front line. He carries a heavy burden, because he is required to continue the legendary record carved by Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani. For years, Uruguay has depended on Suarez and Cavani. Now, there is Nunez who is ready to continue the big names of the two players. Nunez's goal record with Uruguay continues to improve. La Celeste stand on the top of the table in Group C of Copa America 2024 with 2 wins out two matches.
