Luis Suarez vs Patrice Evra
In October 2011, Patrice Evra of Manchester United accused Liverpool’s talisman, Luis Suarez, of racially abusing him during a league encounter between the two sides.
Suarez was upset by the claim and refused that he made any racist remarks. That’s a stand he still sticks to. Liverpool also released a statement that Suarez would appeal his innocence and the club would support him.
However, the Uruguayan was found guilty by a three-man panel appointed by the FA and he was given an eight-match ban as well as fine of £40,000.
During the next meeting between the two sides, which happened after Suarez finished his eight-game ban, he refused to shake Evra’s hands before the game stirring up more controversies. Evra grabbed Suarez’s hand in protest but the Uruguayan ignored the player and continued to walk. As a mark of protest, Evra’s teammate, Rio Ferdinand chose to ignore Suarez’s handshake.
Suarez and then Liverpool manager, Kenny Dalglish, were forced to apologise for the player’s actions.
Manchester United went on to win that particular game 2-1 with Suarez scoring for the Reds. After the fulltime whistle, Evra celebrated by running in front of Suarez and cheering the crowd on.
