Luis Suarez’s antics have finally come back to bite him.
Doubles from Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum earned Liverpool a stunning 4-0 win as they pulled off a miracle against Barcelona in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.
And the Uruguayan, who played the pantomime villain throughout, was partly responsible for Wijnaldum’s introduction.
Suarez was involved in a controversial off-the-ball collision with Andy Robertson in the first-half, when the former Reds striker appeared to aim a couple of kicks at the Scottish full-back.

Robertson was unable to continue after the break and had to be replaced by, you guessed it, supersub Wijnaldum.
Less than a minute separated the Dutchman’s two goals, and moments before his first, Suarez missed a guilt-edged opportunity to kill Liverpool’s chances with an away goal.
Instead, Liverpool remarkably went through despite Barcelona’s 3-0 first leg victory – and Reds fans will feel justice has been done.
