Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez was brutally mocked by Specsavers after finishing 25th in the Ballon d’Or rankings.
Nunez hasn’t made the immediate impact some Liverpool fans have been hoping for since moving from Benfica. The Uruguayan joined for a club-record fee of £85m (according to Sky Sports) and is often compared to Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian cost slightly less than Nunez (£51m, according to Sky Sports), so expectations are high for Liverpool’s new striker, especially after Haaland’s start.
Nunez was nominated for the Ballon d’Or and it was announced on Monday night that he had finished in 25th place. Specsavers saw this as an opportunity to mock Nunez, as seen in the tweet below.

Being compared to a player like Haaland is never healthy. The Manchester City striker has been in ridiculous form for some time now, and trying to keep up with him in terms of goals would only end in disappointment.
Nunez has a lot to offer Liverpool outside of goals: his direct running and unpredictability make him difficult to defend.
