'Nunez was probably not the right option'

Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock believes that the pressure of taking a Champions League penalty got to striker Darwin Nunez, as the Uruguayan missed his spot-kick in Tuesday's shootout defeat to Paris St-Germain.

Liverpool were eliminated from the competition, with Nunez and Curtis Jones both being denied by Gianluigi Donnarumma, and Warnock says you could tell there was nervousness around Nunez's effort in particular.

"You could feel it as soon as he was walking forward," he said on the Football Daily podcast.

"There was a sense of 'oh no,' and he was probably not the right option.

"To be honest, I am not going to say anything about anyone who takes a penalty, all credit to them, but I get what you mean. It's that confidence when you are stepping up. It is just one of those situations.

"I am sat here thinking, wow, look at the size of Donnarumma. If he dives the right way, he has a great chance of saving it."
