At 03:00 Beijing time on April 14, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, 22-year-old Uruguayan striker Núñez scored in three consecutive rounds of the Champions League, and finally Benfica drew 3-3 with Liverpool away, with a total score of 4-6.
Nunez scored a 3-3 goal in the 82nd minute, scoring both legs against Liverpool.
If he's lucky, Nunez could even score a hat-trick against Liverpool, as he scored a goal in each of the first and second halves as slight offside was blown off. Of course, although the goal was ruled invalid, the side also reflected Nuñez's top shooting skills.
After scoring three consecutive Champions League goals, Núñez's Champions League goals this season rose to six, surpassing Nuno Gomez to become the player with the most goals scored in a single season in the Champions League in Benfica's history.
So far this season, Nunez has scored 32 goals in 37 appearances for Benfica in all competitions, a goal stat that has surpassed Mbappe (31 goals). Of course, Núñez is no match for Mbappe in terms of assists, he has only delivered 3 assists, while Mbappe has already delivered 22 assists. Another popular fried chicken, Haaland, has scored just 23 goals in all competitions this season, nine goals less than Nunez.
Two years ago, Núñez was still playing in La Liga. Benfica spent €24 million when he brought him in from Almeria, setting a record 3. Nunez is not only the most expensive signing in Benfica's history, but also the most expensive player sold from Almería and La Liga.
It is understood that Almeria can also get 20% of Núñez's secondary transfer share. Now Benfica's psychological price for Nunez is 80 million euros, which means that Almeria is likely to get 16 million euros, so that they can receive 40 million euros in Nuñez.
On the German Transfer Market, Núñez soared from €1.8 million to €40 million in just two years, soaring more than 20 times.
The 22-year-old Nunez is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after players in this summer's transfer window, even rivaling Haaland. It is understood. Barca, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Paris Grande and Bayern are all watching him.
