Luis Suarez back at Nacional
Luis Suarez has returned to Uruguay after 16 years, but this time he is staying rather than traveling for a vacation or the national team.
He rejoins Uruguay’s Nacional, the team with which he made his professional football debut in 2005. Since the striker confirmed last Tuesday that he had struck a pre-agreement with Nacional, both the player and the supporters have been extremely pleased about the reunion.
On Sunday, the Barcelona great and his family arrived at the airport. They immediately headed to Gran Parque Central, where the gates opened for the official public introduction.
The athlete has already smiled broadly for the cameras while wearing his new jersey and while posing with Colombian musician Sebastian Yatra, who gave him the jersey.
Luis Suarez returns at Nacional:
Suarez and his family were surrounded by the players and the supporters during the presentation, which had already turned into a celebration as they welcomed the Uruguayan back to the team where it all began.
In his first game back with Nacional, Luis Suarez came on as a substitute, but he was unable to save his Uruguayan team’s 1-0 home loss to Atletico Goianiense in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals on Tuesday.
Nacional has always been one of the most powerful teams in Uruguayan soccer, even without the arrival of Suarez. Amazingly, the team has placed second in the league 36 times while winning it 36 times.
When Nacional won the Uruguayan Super Cup in 2021, it was their final trophy. They last won a league championship in 2020. Suarez’s addition will unquestionably increase expectations for the upcoming season, making it a trophy or bust.
