Luis Suarez has praised Darwin Nunez on Instagram after the Liverpool striker’s performance for Uruguay this weekend.
The former Anfield talisman replied to the 24-year-old’s post on the social media platform to praise his performance after Uruguay beat Chile 3-1 in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

Suarez wrote: “Way to go Darwin! Tremendous match and starting winning is always important! Let’s go up with everything that’s just started.”
With Nunez handed Suarez’s no. 9 shirt for Uruguay, this international break will be viewed by many as a real changing of the guard for the South American giants.
Yet with Suarez pleased with how Nunez performed for the two-time World Cup champions, there’s every chance that the Liverpool forward will only get more confident from here.
Nunez has already enjoyed quite the season with Liverpool having bagged a brace against Newcastle United and leading the line expertly against Aston Villa.
And the attacker’s most recent performance for Uruguay will give the striker more confidence to shine for Liverpool, where Nunez will want to impress this season.
With the forward now potentially Liverpool’s new leading man, as well, Nunez will want to live off every piece of praise that comes his way, with Suarez offering that in droves.
