Uruguayan Nacional's fans cheer and show banners in support of Luis Suarez before the Libertadores Cup match against Paraguayan Libertad at the Gran Parque Central stadium in Montevideo. Liverpool's Suarez began his career in Nacional, and on 16th February he received the support of Uruguayan President Jose Mujica, who claimed the 25-year-old "is not racist" and hit out at those critical of the player. The banner reads: "Suarez, Uruguay is with you"
