Nunez opens up on Liverpool struggles as he seeks solace with Uruguay

The 25-year-old forward has faced a challenging campaign, managing just seven goals in 40 appearances under Arne Slot. His struggles were further highlighted by a missed penalty in the decisive shootout against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, followed by Liverpool's heart-wrenching 2-1 defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final.

Now back with his national team and preparing for a crucial fixture against Argentina, Nunez has reflected on the turbulent weeks he has endured. "It's about clearing my mind from everything happening there," he told El Pais. "There's nothing more special for a player than representing their country."

The Liverpool striker remains determined to improve, acknowledging that he has not performed to his full potential. "I know I'm not at my best, and that's frustrating. But football is about ups and downs. When things are going well, like when I set up Harvey Elliott's goal against PSG, your confidence soars. Then suddenly, a rough patch comes, and you have to fight through it."

Despite the setbacks, the Uruguayan remains committed to regaining form and contributing both for club and country. "I don't give up easily. I will keep working hard to turn things around," he added. "I'm always ready to help my teammates, whether at Liverpool or with Uruguay."

With a pivotal international break ahead, the striker will be hoping a change of scenery can help him rediscover his best form before returning to Anfield.
