Luis Suarez reminded fans why he is known as the Clasico king with a stunning strike for Nacional at the weekend.

Suarez had scored 11 times for Barcelona against Real Madrid in Spain's Clasico before starring in the Uruguayan version on Sunday.

The 35-year-old scored a long-range wonder goal to help Nacional beat rivals Penarol 3-1 in Montevideo.

Suarez's moment of magic came on 52 minutes after a throw-in was aimed in his direction.

He let the ball bounce twice before nailing a left-footed volley into the top corner of the net from 25 yards.

Suarez signed for Nacional in July after eight years in Spain with Barcelona and then Atletico Madrid.

Since returning to his homeland, he has scored three goals and provided one assist in five appearances for Nacional.

Nacional are currently top of the Uruguayan Primera Division after six rounds of fixtures this season.
