Darwin Núñez is Uruguay's most explosive attacking weapon — a centre-forward whose combination of raw pace, aerial power, and relentless pressing made him one of Europe's most disruptive strikers during his time at Benfica and Liverpool. Jürgen Klopp signed him for a significant fee in 2022, and while his finishing drew scrutiny at Anfield, his movement and work rate were consistently elite. Now at Al Hilal, he remains Uruguay's focal point up front, the kind of forward who can unsettle any defence through sheer physicality and directness even when chances don't fall his way.
