Uruguay Names Pitch after Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez broke down in tears as he made an emotional return to the pitch in Uruguay where he first kicked a football.

The Barcelona star and his family went back to his first club, Nacional, where a new synthetic pitch has been named in his honour.

And the opening ceremony for the Luis Alberto Suarez pitch at Nacional’s Los Cespedes training complex in Montevideo clearly brought a lot of happy memories flooding back for the striker.
