Jurgen Klopp’s reaction to Darwin Nunez missing this chance for Liverpool 

Harvey Elliott was afforded acres of space to drive into after Mohamed Salah had run wide.

But as Salah cut his run inside, Eliott played in the Egyptian, who then rolled the ball across the six-yard box into the path of a waiting Nunez.

However, Nunez proceeded to miskick the ball, sending his effort squirming wide of the post after failing to make proper contact.

Even Jurgen Klopp could not believe the 24-year-old had missed from such close range, wheeling away in disbelief with his hands out in front of him in a “how” gesture.

Indeed, the chance he missed was revealed by Soccerbase to have an Expected Goals value of 0.81, meaning a shot from there is scored 81 per cent of the time.

Reacting to the miss online, one fan said: “Nunez must have his boots on the wrong feet.”

A second wrote: “What is happening Nunez please.”

A third responded: “Every game without fail he does something hilarious.”

Another typed: “He’ll miss that and then bang a 30-yarder, what a bizarre player.”

While a fifth added: “Surely the miss of the season.”

A sixth declared: “THAT IS A CONTENDER FOR MISS OF THE 21ST CENTURY!”

Following remarks made by Reds manager Klopp in the wake of a VAR error during Liverpool’s game against Tottenham last weekend, some supporters joked that Liverpool would want a rematch.

Ryan Gravenberch capitalized on a rebound to score the first goal, but Anfield did not have to wait for long.

Just before halftime, USG goalie Anthony Moris mishandled a Trent Alexnader-Arnold attempt and spilled the ball.

After then, Diogo Jota scored again in stoppage time to make it 2-0 and put Liverpool in first place in Group E with two victories out of two.
