Luis Suarez Comes At Filipe Luis' For His Instagram Post


According to ESPN, Luis Suarez has snapped back at Filipe Luis after the defender uploaded a photo on social media revealing a stud mark supposedly left by the Uruguayan forward.

The two players clashed in the 83rd minute of Wednesday's 1-1 draw between Barca and Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou, with Suarez cautioned as a result.

Within minutes of the match ending, Luis posted a photo on his Instagram account of a bloody right foot alongside the ironic caption: "At least he didn't touch me."

When asked about the Brazilian left-back's decision to publish the photo, Suarez gave a stinging response.

 In his words: "Football is for men," "Everything stays on the pitch. If everyone uploaded what happens [on the pitch to social media accounts] the game would become a circus."

It's not the first time an opposition player has taken to social media to complain about treatment from Suarez.

Valencia defender Aymen Abdennour took the same action after last season's 1-1 draw at the Mestalla.

The Tunisian centre-back felt the former Liverpool front man had stamped on him and posted the apparent evidence on Instagram with the comment "#Suarez."

Suarez denied any wrongdoing: "I stepped on him without meaning to. We met in the tunnel and I gave him my hand to shake.

 "I took [the Instagram post] as funny. If you were to show off every blow, every little thing that happens on the pitch..."

Bakare said, “The elders of the North, who today are opposed to the call to restructure Nigeria, have deviated from the ideals of the founding fathers of Northern Nigeria like the late Sir Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa. They were forerunners of Fajuyi in the Nigerian hall of martyrdom. “Lest we forget, these great Nigerian leaders from the North made it clear in the series of constitutional conferences that heralded Nigeria’s indepen...
