One of the most anticipated clashes of the fifth round of the initial phase of the Champions League was the one between Liverpool and Real Madrid at Anfield, where Darwin Núñez and Federico Valverde performed in each of the teams.
The Uruguayan was precisely involved in a clash that went viral on the networks and raised different types of comments about the sanction of the referee of the duel, the Frenchman Francois Letexier.
At 12′ minutes of play, while the English team had the ball on the right, Núñez tried to gain position in the area against a very intense mark by Raúl Asencio.
The merengue grabbed him from behind, pulled his shirt, grabbed him from all sides and when the Peñarol-trained player crossed his arm to get rid of the opponent, the Spanish youth pushed him away.
The forward of the Uruguayan team, who exaggerated the action a little, fell clutching his face in the area, but the most incredible thing was that the French whistle decided to caution both of them.
