David Luiz relieved by happy homecoming

The PSG defender has hailed the 2-0 victory over Mexico, revealing he was nervous ahead of the first game at home since the World Cup.

Brazil defender David Luiz has expressed his relief following the side's first win on home soil since last year's World Cup.

The Selecao saw off Mexico 2-0 at Allianz Park in Sao Paulo thanks to first-half goals from Philippe Coutinho and Diego Tardelli.

David Luiz revealed he was anxious about returning home a year after Brazil's 7-1 World Cup semifinal defeat to Germany.

"For me, there was more anxiety," he told Globo.
