pygame cant load image. Other solutions not working

I am trying to load an image with this code:

img_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) + "\\assets\\ms_cell_normal.png"
img = pg.image.load(img_path)

game_display = pg.display.set_mode((WIDTH,HEIGHT))
clock = pg.time.Clock()

while True:

    clock.tick(FPS)
    for event in pg.event.get():
        if event.type == pg.QUIT:
            sys.exit(0)

    game_display.blit(img, (50,50))
    game_display.flip()

Somehow, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "d:/PythonProjects/MineSweeper/main.py", line 59, in <module>
    game_display.flip()
AttributeError: 'pygame.Surface' object has no attribute 'flip'

why ? I read everywhere that this is the way you load images ...

flip() is not a method of pygame.Surface. But there is pygame.display.flip():

game_display.flip()

pygame.display.flip()

Compared to that blit is a mehtod of pygame.Surface and game_display is an instance of pygame.Surface:

game_display.blit(img, (50,50))

Notice that you named the Surface associated with the window game_display when you created it (game_display = pg.display.set_mode((WIDTH,HEIGHT)))
