Uruguay played against Paraguay in the South American region of the 2026 World Cup. This match was Suarez’s last match in the Uruguayan jersey. However, Uruguay did not win the match. It was settled in a goalless draw. However, all eyes were on Suarez after the result of the match.
Thousands of spectators were present at the farewell match of this legendary footballer. His name was written on big banners and tifos. Throughout the entire time, the audience kept the whole gallery chanting slogans. His family members were also present on the field with Suarez that day. Uruguay’s legendary coach Oscar Tabarez came.
Messi’s friendship with Suarez started in Barcelona. That path has stopped at Inter Miami. Messi gave an emotional message on the farewell day of his dear friend. The recorded video is shown on big screens in the stadium. Messi said to his friend Suarez, ‘I recorded this video for you on this special day. This is a special day for you, your family, Uruguayans and football lovers. The nation will always remember what you have given to the national team and the country.’
‘I know how difficult it is to make this decision. Because I know what playing for Uruguay was like for you. I hope you enjoy the love that is being given to you. You deserve more than what I said. Because you have wasted everything till the last moment. For those who are there today, you are leaving a great legacy.’- added Messi.
Thanking everyone in his farewell message, Suarez said, ‘Uruguay is bigger than any player, coach, manager or anyone. From tomorrow I am just another fan. Good luck to all who come to play next. Surely they will represent the country like us. Long live Uruguay and I will always be grateful to the people of Uruguay.’
