'Going to prove everyone wrong', 'biggest flop': fans react as Nunez miss in Uruguay training goes viral

Even without playing for Liverpool, Darwin Nunez gets fans talking - mainly, rival fans. A clip went viral of the Uruguayan striker's dismal shot attempt in training with his national team.

However, when it came to a shot, he scuffed it so wide that it went closer to the corner flag than to the goal

The video gathered over a million views on Twitter alone. Unsurprisingly, the rival fans have flooded the replies with usual messages.

UtdEIIis: "Comparing Darwin Nunez to Haaland has to be the most disrespectful comparison of all time."

biggie_panduh: "Darwin Nunez has done it again 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️this will be the biggest flop in England"

LilMoGh: "Whoever compared Darwin Nunez to Haaland should walk naked on the street and apologize to all football lovers"

SxrgioSZN: "I miss the days when we all laughed at Lukaku but it’s nice to see Darwin Nunez filling in for him, it’s like he never left"

However, a significant portion of the Liverpool fans spoke in Nunez's defence - and noted how well the striker did against the opponent on the wing.

ahmedIfc: "This period is going to be funny to look back on when Darwin Nunez becomes an inevitable success"

TheVirgilEffect: "Hate on him all you want, post his training mistakes and misses, he’s going to prove everyone wrong and it’s going to be so special."

Callum___Moran: "Darwin Nunez is the only footballer on the planet where people look for clips in training to slander him. He’s MASSIVE"

VintageDiaz: "The way Nunez just knocks that defender of the ball, this man is a defender's nightmare."

Jordan Chamberlain: "Honestly cannot wait for this lad to come good. Have never seen a player bullied like Nunez based on 3-second training clips in my life: it’s purely weird."
