JAKARTA - Darwin Nunez did not score when Liverpool narrowly won over Girona 1-0 in the 2024/2025 Champions League on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, early morning WIB.
Mohamed Salah scored the Reds' winning goal in the 63rd minute through the penalty spot.
Nunez was also recorded as wasting a number of chances. The failure to score goals made him still only score three goals in 19 appearances for Liverpool this season.
Despite being less productive, Arne Slot still defended the Uruguayan national team player.
"All I can agree to is that he missed several chances. So, the question is whether he lacks confidence?"
"I think every striker has a moment when things go well. Then, there is a period where they try hard, but don't score."

"However, the good thing is that we have a lot of players who can score goals. It is a threat, but unfortunately he can't score goals," said Arne Slot.
Darwin Nunez last scored in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Anfield on November 10, 2024.
While the other two goals came in a narrow Reds win over RB Leipzig 1-0 in the Champions League on October 24, 2024 and when Liverpool won Bournemout 3-0 on September 21, 2024.
In addition to goals, the 25-year-old striker also contributed two assists this season to Liverpool. The first assist was obtained when Liverpool drew 2-2 against Arsenal on October 27, 2024.
Then, the next assist was created in the Carabao Cup when the Reds won 5-1 over West Ham United on September 25, 2024.
