Federico Chiesa has finally spoken out after his first outing in a Liverpool shirt, following his late summer transfer from Juventus.
The 26-year-old attacker made an appearance from the bench as the Reds cruised to victory over AC Milan at San Siro during their Champions League clash on Tuesday
Christian Pulisic's early goal had put the home team ahead, but Ibrahima Konate's header leveled the score for Liverpool soon after.
Just before half-time, Virgil van Dijk notched another via a set-piece, giving Arne Slot's men the advantage going into the break.
The lead was further solidified halfway through the second half by Dominik Szoboszlai, securing a significant win on foreign soil.
Following the match, Chiesa joined his teammates in sharing celebratory posts on social media.
The winger marked the occasion with several snaps from the night, sharing them with his followers on Instagram.
They were quick to show their support, with the post attracting over 300,000 likes in under eight hours.
With a nod to his debut and the triumph, his caption read: "Happy to make my debut with @liverpoolfc! Great win in San Siro! [three arm flexing emojis] #uefachampionsleague."
Responses poured in, surpassing 2,000 comments, featuring congratulatory remarks from fellow player Konstantinos Tsimikas and an applauding emoji from Virgil van Dijk, while Szoboszlai added a fiery emoji to the mix.
Darwin Nunez, the 25-year-old striker who replaced Diogo Jota in the second half of the game, posted a cryptic image of the match on Instagram without any caption
Shortly after, he switched his account from public to private, restricting access to only his followers.
Despite being a part of Liverpool's squad under Slot, Nunez has yet to start a competitive match, sparking speculation about his future at the club.
The Uruguay international was rumored to be leaving during the summer transfer window, but no deal came to fruition.
Intriguingly, during the peak of these rumors, Nunez removed all images of himself in a Liverpool kit from his Instagram feed, leaving only pictures of him playing for Benfica and Uruguay.
However, he still sports a Liverpool shirt in his profile picture.
