In reaction, Nunez posted to social media: “Thank you from the heart for everything you did for me in the national team, you were my idol without knowing you and you are even more so now that I know you.
“As you said, you came as a child and leave as a legend, it’s everyone's dream and you fulfilled it.”
Nunez has been mentored by Suarez since he first moved to Europe.
