‘Young people have to learn to respect’ — Messi reveals reason for brawl between Argentina and Uruguay players
Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi was seen choking an opponent during Argentina's loss to Uruguay in the South American World Cup qualifying match
His role was more of a dressing room leader and a back-up striker, and despite it being a far cry from the position he once held, El Pistelero relished it.
What Suarez said
Nunez has been in inspired form for Uruguay this international break. He scored one of the two goals in the 2-0 downing of world champion Argentina, and in the following game, he scored twice in the 3-0 trouncing of Bolivia.
Suarez was an unused substitute in the Argentina game, but he came on in place of the Liverpool striker in the 73rd minute of the drubbing of Bolivia. Speaking after the game, Suarez, who was undoubtedly one of the best in the world in his pomp, sang praises for Nunez.

"I have one of the best No. 9s in the world ahead of me,” he said, referring to Nunez, per GOAL.
“We have to support him and enjoy him. Today I am in another role [than before] and I am happy to be here helping the group."
Meanwhile, English football legend Steven Gerrard goes back on his previous claim and names Ronaldo as the GOAT.
