Luis Suárez bites once more…Nevertheless, it’s Jordi Alba this time!

Leo Messi scored a brace to help Inter Miami defeat Los Angeles FC 3-1 in the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals on Thursday, but there was also an odd and startling occurrence involving Luis Suárez.

Tensions between players from both teams increased in the game’s last minutes, with shouting and pushing turning into a full-on brawl.

Cameras captured a bizarre scene among the chaos: Olivier Giroud, on the other squad, grabbed the Spaniard by the neck, while Luis Suárez bit his own colleague Jordi Alba’s hand. After going unreported at first, the incident swiftly gained widespread attention on social media, leaving supporters in disbelief at Suárez’s most recent outburst of craziness.

The Uruguayan striker’s history of biting opponents is widely known. His previous suspensions have been harsh, ranging from Branislav Ivanovic in 2013 to Giorgio Chiellini during the 2014 World Cup. Even though the bite appeared less violent and was aimed at a teammate this time, it nevertheless raises serious concerns about his behavior on the field—again. The club or competition organizers may take disciplinary action shortly.
