did he also get embroiled in yet ANOTHER biting storm?
The Uruguayan ruthlessly put Manchester City to the sword with two
typically well-taken goals to give Barcelona a commanding first
leg advantage.
But footage has emerged that appears to show the controversial
Uruguayan clash with City defender Martin Demichelis in all too
familiar fashion.
The incident, coming in the 92nd minute, wasn't reacted to by anyone
on the pitch at the time, but has seen a number of people on social
media suggesting foul play.
It would of course not be the first time Suarez has hit the headlines
for all the wrong reasons.
Back in April 2013, Suarez was banned for eight games after biting
Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic during a match at Anfield.
And then 18 months later he clashed with Giorgio Chiellini at the
World Cup in similar style, an incident which saw him slapped with a
four-month ban from football and prompted his £70m transfer from
Liverpool to Barcelona.
Suarez's two goals leave the Premier League champions with it all to
do in the second leg in three week's time despite Sergio Aguero second
half strike.
And speaking afterward the 28-year-old, who's every touch was booed by
the home fans at the Etihad, admitted the jeering spurred him on.
"Obviously it is pleasing, first of all to be able to help the team
with important goals in a Champions League knockout game [and] of
course to come back to England and [win] against a team you're always
motivated to play against," he said.
"There are certain types of players like me who get more inspired,
more motivated when fans boo them - it helps motivate you a bit more."
Suarez waxed lyrical about Barca's display, but conceded they could
have taken a bigger advantage back to the Nou Camp for the second leg.
He added: "We produced a really good game, the team in general, and
managed to take advantage of the space City left open.
"We were clever in our reading of the game and we created a lot of
openings and could have scored another goal."
