Darwin Nunez was never going to be one of those players.Whether he was smashing a volley off the crossbar, sprinting 70 yards to press a centre-back in the 89th minute, or celebrating a winner like he had just conquered the continent, the Uruguayan striker lived every single second on the pitch at maximum volume. The supporter asks whether he misses Liverpool.



In August 2026, he joined newly promoted Al-Diriyah on loan and has started well there, with three goals in five league games.Earlier in 2026, there was talk that he might terminate his Al-Hilal contract and return to Europe.
