On Wednesday, this season’s Champions League final was decided. After drawing 1-1 with Real Madrid, wining 3-2 on aggregate, Italian giants Juventus set a clash with Barcelona for the game in Berlin.
Although the Old Lady don’t possess the big profile name players as their opposition the Blaugrana do, bet your money on the encounter between the two sides to go down to the wire, and to prove an exciting tie.
Fans, as well as social media, are already hyped up for the clash being held at the Olympiastadion. However, not all of this has to do with the beautiful football that will be up for display.
Luis Suarez, who signed for the Catalan giants last summer, will cross paths with two players that he shares a past with: Giorgio Chiellini and Patrice Evra.
Chiellini, of course, had been involved in a controversial biting incident with the Uruguayan in which the former Liverpool striker sunk his teeth into the Italian defender’s shoulder, shockingly the third time Suarez has committed such a crime. His actions resulted in a four-month ban.
Suarez vs Chiellini and Evra reignited the Suarez Park trolls on Twitter
Suarez will play against Evra and Chiellini in the same game. I reckon there's a 56 game ban coming.

For Patrice Evra, you would have to rewind back four years to 2011 when the 28-year-old forward was found guilty for racially abusing the then Manchester United full back, being slapped with an eight-game suspension and a £40,000 fine.
Speaking ahead of his inevitable run-in with Suarez on June 6, Evra admitted he will shake Luis’ hands, but left the Barcelona ace with a little warning.
"I am proud to be what I am, I am proud about my colour and I will shake his hand, it is no problem," Evra continued. "But I will make sure he will feel me on the pitch,” said the Frenchman.
