Darwin Núñez is currently with the Uruguayan national team, preparing for friendly matches against England and Algeria. He spoke to the federation's television, fondly recalling his time at Almería and especially at Benfica. The Al Hilal forward considers his season in the Spanish second division and his second year at Benfica as the highlights of his career, which allowed him to move to the Premier League. The 26-year-old striker emphasized the importance of the 2019/20 season in Spain and the 2021/22 season with the Eagles, where he scored 34 goals in 41 matches. 'My best years were at Almería and my second year at Benfica, where I scored 35 goals in one season. Those two years were my best moment.' Darwin also took the opportunity to talk about the Liverpool fans, the club he represented and where he won three trophies before moving to Saudi football: 'I would be lying if I said I don't miss them. They made me feel very good, both me and my family. I went through very difficult moments, and they always gave me love and support. That was very important to me.' Although he is not a regular choice in Simone Inzaghi's starting eleven, the striker shows a willingness to play for the Uruguayan team: 'I really want to help the national team, which is now the most important thing.'
