Thousands greet Suarez on return to Uruguay's Nacional

Suarez, 35, admitted he was "nervous" and "emotional" after touching down at Montevideo's international airport just before 11:00 am local time where he was met by family members, friends, club authorities and even some celebrity fans. Having arrived on a private jet owned by his friend and former teammate at Barcelona, Lionel Messi, Suarez then left the airport in a procession towards Nacional's Gran Parque Central stadium for his official presentation.

Local press have described this as the most important signing in Uruguayan football history. In his first interview upon returning to Uruguay, Suarez thanked the fans whose massive social media campaign to bring him back proved decisive in his decision. "I'm here for them, thank you to them and to all the supporters," he told DirecTV.

According to Nacional, the #SuarezANacional (Suarez to Nacional) hashtag launched by fans was used 50 million times across 35 countries.
