The ex-Liverpool man and his Barca team-mates were walking through a crowd of people when Suarez spotted the young boy with the Uruguayan flag.
As Suarez walks towards the child, the young boy ran into the arms of the striker before giving him a long embrace.
The 30-year-old signed the boy's flag and gave him a Barcelona shirt with his name stamped across the back.
The kid couldn't contain his emotions as tears of joy rolled down his face before holding up his new Suarez shirt to the camera.
Suarez is deemed a hero in his native Uruguay and even has a statue of him in his hometown in his honour.
