Liverpool's Slot Challenges Núñez to Step Up as Reds Eye Champions League Progress

Arne Slot emphasizes Darwin Núñez's need for consistency as Liverpool prepare to secure their place in the Champions League last 16 against Lille.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has urged Darwin Núñez to prove his worth as an elite striker in the absence of injured forward Diogo Jota.
Núñez, who scored twice in stoppage time against Brentford, has struggled with consistency since joining Liverpool in 2022 for a potential £85 million fee.
Liverpool need at least a draw against Lille on Tuesday to guarantee their progression to the Champions League round of 16 under the revamped format.
Slot downplayed Brentford manager Thomas Frank's praise of Liverpool as the 'world's best team,' stating it is premature to make such claims.
Despite key injuries this season, Liverpool remain six points clear at the top of the Premier League and have won all six Champions League group matches so far.
