Luis Suarez proved he’s still got it with an absolute beauty in Nacional’s match against Penarol on Sunday evening.
The 35-year-old returned to his boyhood club after leaving Atletico Madrid in the summer.
He has had a steady start to life at Nacional.
He had scored twice in six matches for Bolso going into the match against Penarol.
The legendary striker notched his third of the season at the Estadio Gran Parque Central on Sunday evening.
And what a goal it was.
Suarez picked up possession from a throw-in and let the ball run across his body.
With the ball sitting up perfectly on the volley, the 35-year-old striker unleashed an unstoppable effort left-footed effort from 25 yards that dipped beautifully into the top corner.
Watch it below…
Pick that one out. The dip he managed to get was just crazy.
What makes the goal even better was that it was scored with his ‘weaker’ left-foot.
Suarez’s strike helped Nacional to a 3-1 victory over their rivals.
Nacional have moved back into first place having won five of their six games to start the season.
River Plate could go back into top spot, though, should they beat Cerrito on Monday.
Suarez started his career at Nacional before moving to Europe with FC Groningen in 2006.
When revealing his move last month, Suarez said he could not waste his opportunity to return.
“First of all, I wanted to thank you for the love through all the messages that both I and my family have received in recent days, which has been impressive. That touched our hearts at this moment that we had to make a decision,” he said in a video posted on his Twitter account, per ESPN.
“And it was impossible to waste this opportunity of playing again in Nacional and we have a pre-agreement with the club.
“In the next few hours, details will be finalised and we hope that the agreement we all want will be reached and that we can all enjoy this new stage and see each other in the coming days.”
