BREAKING ‼️: Pep Guardiola shocked by Liverpool’s treatment of star player – “If they’re not using him, let him come to Man City and see the magic”.
In a stunning twist after Manchester City’s latest Premier League outing, Pep Guardiola has publicly voiced his confusion and disappointment at how Liverpool are handling one of their most talented players. The City boss, never one to shy away from giving his honest opinion, questioned Liverpool’s decision to constantly bench a player he described as “their best weapon,” even in big matches where his presence could make the difference.
“Watching his performance today made me confused why they’re benching him,” Guardiola told reporters. “This is a player who can change games, who has the quality to lift the team, but he’s sitting on the bench too often. If they’re not using him, let him come to Manchester City and see the magic.”
Guardiola’s remarks have immediately ignited a storm of debate among fans and pundits alike. While he didn’t directly mention the player’s name, all signs point towards Darwin Núñez—the fiery striker who has consistently proven to be a game-changer when given the opportunity but has found himself sidelined more often than expected under Arne Slot.
Liverpool fans, already frustrated by Núñez’s limited minutes against Arsenal, erupted on social media with outrage. Many accused Slot of mismanaging a player who could be central to Liverpool’s attacking threat, while others even admitted that Pep’s comments were a painful reminder of how rival clubs would cherish the talent that Liverpool appear to be neglecting.
The timing of Guardiola’s comments is also intriguing, as transfer speculation begins to swirl. Could City genuinely be eyeing an audacious move for the Liverpool star if his frustrations continue to grow?
One thing is certain—Guardiola’s words have thrown fresh spotlight on Arne Slot’s squad decisions, raising uncomfortable questions at Anfield about whether Liverpool are truly getting the best out of their top talents.
Honestly, fans are not happy he didn’t get a single minute today 💔🙀😱
