Racist abuse
 |
| 2011 playing during Liverpool vs Manchester United |
In 2011, Suarez received an eight-match ban and was fined $62,000 for racially abusing French defender Patrice Evra in a Liverpool vs. Manchester United game. England's Football Association found that Suarez had called Evra, a black player, a "Negro" or "Negros" seven times during the game.
Suarez said that he would accept the punishment reluctantly but maintained his comments had been lost in translation. At the start of the next game between the fierce English club rivals, Suarez refused to shake Evra's hand, forcing his club to apologize for that too.
