Taarabt: Nunez is a mixture of Suarez and Cavani

He continued: “Is Nunez able to score in the English Premier League? 100%, he showed it in the Champions League, you watched the two games against Liverpool, it was fantastic.”
Taarabt pointed to Nunez’s advantages, saying: “Darwin is a mixture between Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez, he can jump, he can slip from behind, for me he is a mixture of players.”
He added, “I mean that he scored 34 goals, 6 of them in the Champions League, including two goals in Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and two goals against Liverpool, and he is still 21 years old.”
Nunez moved to Benfica in 2020 from Almeria, Spain, and since then he represented the Portuguese team in 84 matches in all competitions, scoring 47 goals and assisting 16 goals for his teammates.
