This is a hopeless position for Black.

White has a strong passed g-pawn. In most variations, black will have to trade
one of his rooks for the g-pawn and one of Black's minor pieces, so white will
be a piece up

for example

1...Kxg6? 2. Rg8+ Kf7 3. Nh6+ Ke6 4. Rxg2

1... Ke7 2. Ne3 Rxg6 3. Nd5+ Kd7 4. Nxc7 Kxc7
