Benfica striker Nunez appreciates praise from Liverpool boss Klopp

Benfica striker Darwin Nunez has appreciated praise from Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

Before last night's 3-3 draw at Anfield, Klopp backed Nunez for a "great career" should he avoid injury.

After the Champions League clash, Nunez was asked about the comments and said: "What the Liverpool manager said about me is a compliment, but my head is totally in Benfica until the end of the season.

"I want to give everything for Benfica and for these fans, who are incredible. My job is to take advantage of this chance that is happening to me.

"Last year I didn't play very well, this season is incredible but the credit also belongs to my teammates."
