Darwin Nunez breaks silence after being called out for 'not clapping' Jurgen Klopp during Liverpool tribute

Darwin Nunez was widely criticised after a video appeared to show him not applauding Jurgen Klopp in his emotional Liverpool farewell.

Darwin Nunez has broken his silence after being accused of "not clapping" at Jurgen Klopp's farewell.

After the 2-0 win over Wolves, the German said goodbye to Anfield on Sunday following nine unforgettable years in the hot-seat.

Klopp was full of emotion in his speech, delivered after receiving a guard of honour from his players.

However, some fans spotted Nunez appearing to refrain from giving a round of applause - claiming he was the only one to do so.

There was reaction aplenty online, with a whole host of accusations made at the Uruguayan.

Some stated he made a point of not clapping, while others said he could not have looked "less interested".

Nunez has had to deal with regular negative comments since moving to Liverpool but now admits it does not affect him in the way it did before.

He also claims he does not look for any praise.

"From the moment you start playing and until you retire, there will always be someone who will criticize you," he told Por la Jersey, as per Liverpool World.

“Before, I did look them a lot and it affected me. Whoever says that those negative comments do not affect them is lying, those negative comments that are directed towards you will always affect you. But now I ignore those comments because they are of no use to me.

"I'm not looking at anything, not even the good stuff. If a game goes badly for me, I rely on my family. What happened in the game is already there, it's already happened, and there is always revenge.”

Footage of Nunez, who recently removed all Liverpool posts from his social media, led to suggestions of a rift with Klopp.

But that was dispelled after a second video showed the striker dancing with Klopp at his special send-off party.

Nunez was a priority signing for Klopp, who pushed for the transfer despite the club's recruitment preferring Christopher Nkunku.
