Eagle-Eyed Supporters Spot Darwin Nunez's Reaction to Jurgen Klopp's Farewell Guard of Honour
- 25 days ago
Liverpool supporters have quickly highlighted Darwin Nunez's reaction to Jurgen Klopp's farewell guard of honor amid speculation over the Uruguayan forward's future.
Klopp bowed out on a high after a 2-0 victory against Wolves on Sunday, his final match in charge of the club after a nine-and-a-half-year spell.
The outgoing boss emerged after the full-time whistle to deliver one last message to the crowd at Anfield.
His players had lined up on either side of the tunnel for Klopp and his departing backroom staff to walk through and receive a rapturous reception from supporters.
Some Liverpool fans noted that Nunez, while lined up in the guard of honor with his team-mates, had a muted reaction as Klopp made his way through.
'Every player clapped as Klopp made his way through the guard of honor. All except one,' one supporter wrote.
'The same player [Nunez] that couldn't have looked less interested during his final post-match team talk.'
The Liverpool fan claimed 'He clapped for every other player & member of staff that walked through but made a point of not doing so for Klopp.'
Another supporter wrote 'I feel sick, I can't believe Nunez didn't applaud Klopp'.
Liverpool players had gathered to send off the legendary boss at the end of their final Premier League match of the season at Anfield.
Away from the pitch, Klopp gave an emotional speech to the players for the final time in the dressing room.
The 56-year-old started off by insisting that he was more than happy with his team's season despite missing out on the Premier League title.
'The football you can play is ridiculous,' he said. 'I can't wait, watching you develop, making the next steps.'
After being told that Manchester City had won their fourth title in a row - with Liverpool the last team to stop them in 2020 - Klopp added: 'You can do that again. I said to you this morning. There might be some people that say to you "That's not enough", I tell you, they don't have a clue about football.
'Could we have done better in moments? Yes, of course, that's always possible. But did we do better than you can usually expect? Oh yes, because it takes longer to become a top team again, and you did that like this (clicks fingers).
'Then my expectations went (high) and then we couldn't keep the pace. That's the problem a little bit.
'Guys, we come in third in the first season with Liverpool 2.0 and from now on with new energy from outside, with new influences, with new push, proving yourselves, that's good for squeezing everything out of your career.'
Fans had also highlighted Nunez's subdued body language while Klopp was addressing the team.
