He would go on to sign for Barcelona that summer, and the rest is history.
Now Suárez prepares to represent Uruguay in his fourth World Cup 🏆

@brfootball
Suárez was not sent off, and Uruguay would go on to win the match and eliminate Italy.
However a FIFA disciplinary committee banned him for nine international matches, the most-ever, along with a four-month ban from any football-related activity ❌

And then in their final group-stage match against Italy, another Suárez moment that went down in the history books 😐
In the 79th minute and tied 0-0, Suárez bit Giorgio Chiellini.

In a match against Chelsea in April 2013, Suárez bit Branislav Ivanović. His second biting incident 😬
He was hit with yet another fine and a 10-match ban.

@brfootball
In the following season, Suárez finished as the Premier League’s second-top scorer (23) and was second behind Gareth Bale for the PFA Player’s Player of the Year 🥈
But that season would also not end without more trouble…

Later that year, Suárez would help lead Uruguay to their record 15th Copa America title.
He ended the tournament with four goals and two assists and was named the MVP 🌟

In Ghana, they didn’t see it quite the same. Defender Hans Sarpei echoed his nation’s sentiment:
“He knows what he has done. We were crying and you see someone who has cheated us is celebrating. How can I forgive him? Never. Never ever."

@brfootball
Ghana missed the 122nd-minute penalty, and Uruguay advanced to the semis on penalties.
Uruguay finished in fourth place, while Ghana were deprived of becoming the first African nation to reach the semis.
Suárez became both a hero and a villain 😲

In injury time of extra time, with Uruguay keeper Muslera beaten, Suárez prevented a goal with his knee. But when the second shot came, Suarez used both hands to ensure Uruguay wouldn’t concede.
Penalty to Ghana. Red card to Suárez 🔴

@brfootball
And then in the quarterfinals against Ghana, a World Cup moment which will forever live in infamy.
