Fans bid farewell as one of the best strikers of this generation called time on his International career.
After announcing earlier that the game against Paraguay would be his last in National team colors, the stadium set up a mesmerizing tribute for the No. 9. Massive banners reading ‘Luis 9 Eterno‘ were held up as the veteran donned the No. 9 for Uruguay one last time.
