Suarez, 36, proved his eye for the spectacular finish has not gone anywhere.

But neither has the Uruguayan’s obsession with bending the rules.

During the Brazilian clash, Suarez challenged for the ball with one of the Internacional defenders and ended up being swept off the floor.

However, there was no contact between the players, despite Suarez launching himself the floor.

The former Barcelona star then rolled across the pitch, looked up at the referee and demanded the player be shown a card.

Within seconds the official flashed Internacional’s Rene a yellow card – and Suarez was caught laughing from the ground.

Then shortly after in a clip that went viral, Suarez belted in a free-kick from the 35-yard mark reminding fans of his goal-striking talent.

One fan reacted and said the goal was “timeless”.

Another added: “Luis Suárez is still making it look easy.”

A third wrote: “He still got it.”

The Uruguay international is regarded as one of the best strikers of his generation.

He spent four seasons at Liverpool, scoring 82 goals in 133 appearances.

He then left the Premier League for La Liga giants Barcelona where he scored a mammoth 198 goals in 283 appearances.

Suarez also enjoyed short spells at Atletico Madrid and boyhood club Nacional before moving to the Brazillian giants in January.

However, Suarez will call it quits on his career at the end of the year after agreeing to end his contract early with the club. 

Earlier this year the forward revealed he is in “constant pain” amid his battle with injuries which had led to his decision to bring his time at the club to an end.
