Luis Suárez was enraged this past weekend when an opponent threw his shoe off the field during Gremio’s 3-0 victory vs. Cruzeiro on Sunday.
With Gremio leading 1-0 courtesy of a Suárez goal, they were about to go into halftime with the lead. Before the stoppage time was up, an incident took place involving the Uruguayan and Cruzeiro’s Marlon.
After not getting a call he wanted, Suárez sat near the sideline with one shoe off complaining. Marlon wasn’t having it and decided to play some mind games and toss Suárez’s shoe.
If you know Suárez then you know he’s not exactly the most level-headed player that’s graced a soccer field. His reaction was pretty on brand.

Marlon should consider himself lucky that he’s still in possession of all his appendages. He did just mess with three-time all you can eat cannibal, Chewy Suárez.
Suárez decided not to bite an opponent for the fourth time in his career and let the scoreboard do the talking as Gremio won 3-0.
It’s humorous to see a notorious villain of the game get ‘out-villained’. Great work, Marlon.
