The former Barcelona striker was unlucky in his farewell match for the Uruguay national team.

 

As previously announced by Luis Suarez, the match against Paraguay in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America will be his last match for the Uruguay national team. Fans paid tribute to the player in the stands.

Right before the match, Luis Suarez received encouragement from his family.

Luck may not have been on Luis Suarez’s side in his farewell match for the national team.

In the 18th minute, from a situation of attacking the ball on the right wing, receiving a low pass from his teammate, Luis Suarez performed a beautiful “bicycle kick” in Paraguay’s penalty area.

This is a finishing situation that shows the class and superior skills of the former Barca striker despite his age.

Unfortunately, the ball hit the goal post of goalkeeper Gatito Fernandez instead of going into the net.

Luis Suarez expressed his regret for his missed opportunity.

The veteran Uruguayan striker understood that this was a delicious opportunity to help his team win all 3 points, and also considered a complete farewell from him to the fans.

At the age of 37, Luis Suarez still played with great effort until the last minutes of the match.

In the end, Uruguay was held to a 0-0 draw by Paraguay. In any case, Luis Suarez can be satisfied with his career in the national team.
