“Always remember…” – Luis Suarez sent Darwin Nunez a brilliant message on social media

Luis Suarez and Darwin Nunez exchanged messages of mutual admiration and support on social media.

The former Liverpool striker – who now plays for Inter Miami – recently scored the 500th goal of his senior club career, and he taken at with a message showing his appreciation to every team he played for along the way.

His Uruguayan teammate and current Reds striker replied with a one-word description of “Ídolo!”which sparked a wonderful response from the 37-year-old.

Suarez wrote (translated from Spanish): “Thank you scorer for always being there! Always remember POSITIVE and looking forward!.

At a time when Nunez felt compelled to delete all Liverpool-related photos from his Instagram profile after being the target of social media vitriol, this public show of support from a teammate and friend of Suarez will surely mean a lot to 24 year olds.

The Reds’ number 9 doesn’t deserve to be subjected to personal abuse because of his performance on the pitch, and it’s not like he’s intentionally giving away scoring chances or taking the wrong option in the final third.

Let’s also not forget that the former Benfica striker has scored 18 goals this season, which is a more than respectable total and still leaves him with a realistic chance of reaching the 20 mark before the end of the campaign.

Suarez is a phenomenal footballer who knows what it’s like to be in the spotlight for the wrong reasons, even if some of his past indiscretions were inexcusable, and it’s wonderful to see him remain alongside Nunez in a period difficult for his young compatriot.

It’s great to see Darwin have the support of one of the most gifted players in living memory to represent Liverpool.
