Darwin Nunez: Goal Drought Is A Bad Fate

Darwin Nunez struggled to score for Liverpool this season (Instagram/@liverpoolfc).

JAKARTA - Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has admitted that he has performed poorly this season. He said his goal drought felt like a 'ball didn't want to enter'.

Nunez has scored just one goal in their last 13 games in all competitions and missed a penalty in a Liverpool penalty shootout loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League earlier this month.

Uruguay's recent international struggle also coincided with the decline in Liverpool's performance, which saw them beaten by Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final and knocked out of the FA Cup by Plymouth Argyle.

"These few weeks have been difficult weeks for me personally. These are the moments that football has to go through."

"I'm not the one who gave up because I couldn't play. I will fight so I can play in every game," he said at a press conference on Tuesday, March 18, 2025.

"I know I didn't perform as well as I should have. It's hard because when you play well, your confidence changes."

"However, in the next game you know that you are not playing. It makes you feel sad."

"I always try to train to stay fit and help my teammates in any way I can. That's what matters."

"Bola doesn't want to enter. I run a lot, play well, and can't score goals. It's a bad fate," said Nunez again.

Liverpool lost their last two games before the international break. Next, the Reds will run the Merseyside Derby at Anfield against Everton on April 3, 2025.
