Liverpool and Barcelona icon Luis Suarez confirmed he will play his final match for Uruguay this week in a teary-eyed press conference on Monday.

Suarez said he will step down from the international squad after Friday's World Cup qualifier against Paraguay and will approach the match with the same tenacity as he did in his first game back in 2007.

'I leave with the peace of mind that I gave everything for the national team until Friday. I have no regrets,' Suarez said.

'There is no better pride in oneself than knowing when the right moment to retire is and luckily I am confident that I am retiring from the national team because I want to take a step aside.
