Video Liverpool star Darwin Nunez shuts up critics with stunning goal vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid’s start to the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against Liverpool could not have been worse.

The team, managed by Carlo Ancelotti, are seeking to defend their title after defeating Jurgen Klopp’s side in the final last season.

Liverpool may be seeking revenge and their strategy appears to be effective as they have taken an early lead at Anfield. An excellent team play led to Mohamed Salah assisting Darwin Nunez, who finished the move skillfully beyond Thibaut Courtois.

Nunez had been doubtful for the game after sustaining an injury during Saturday’s Premier League win over Newcastle United.

Ancelotti is sure to be displeased with his team’s slow start and will be expecting an improvement in the remaining 85 minutes.

Real Madrid still has plenty of time to get back into the game and set themselves up for the second leg in three weeks.
