Lovely

We think there’s something in our eye.

Controversial Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez showed a much softer and caring side when surprising a young cancer patient in Uruguay with a wonderful surprise video message.

The patient, known as Mateo, thought he was going to be speaking to a doctor in Spain, but instead was delievered a lovely surprise by the Barcelona star.

Suarez is a patron of a charity in his native Uruguay called the Scremini Perez Foundation. It specialises in childhood cancer and treats patients for free with all costs being paid by the foundation.

When Suarez appeared on the screen, the young patient got emotional and sure you can see for yourself what happened:
