Nunez transferred to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal with a reported initial fee of £46million. Aldridge reflected on his experiences, recalling his missed penalty in the 1988 FA Cup final against Wimbledon, which Liverpool lost. He noted that winning the Community Shield against Crystal Palace is significant since it offers a chance to lift a trophy at Wembley. Aldridge also commented on Nunez's inconsistent performance at Liverpool, explaining the team's recent sales of players not fitting into their plans.
Nunez sealed a switch to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal for a fee understood to be an initial £46million.
Aldridge suggests the silverware on offer ensures this fixture is more than just a warm-up match.
There is a trophy to be won and you don't get many chances to lift a trophy at Wembley, so it's well worth going after.
Aldridge also gave his verdict on Darwin Nunez's exit from Liverpool, after the striker sealed a move to the Saudi Pro League on Saturday.
