Amid Liverpool’s disastrous loss to Real Madrid, a video has begun circulating of Darwin Nunez being pushed over in the box by Dani Carvajal but no penalty was given.
The Reds took an early two goal lead against the reigning European champions with goals from Nunez and Mo Salah, but a stunning turnaround from Los Blancos saw them crush Jurgen Klopp’s team 5-2 in the end.
After the loss, a video did the rounds on Twitter of the Uruguayan being shoved in the back by Dani Carvajal in the area, leading to questions of why nothing was given.
In the grand scheme of things, it’s not the biggest issue but i’m baffled how this isn’t a penalty pic.twitter.com/XhggH1HV5a

Looking at the video, it’s certainly not the most blatant shove in the back and it can be said that this appeal is a slightly raw attempt and salvaging some fairness from a match where Liverpool were simply outplayed in all areas of the pitch.
