Luis Suarez does the most Luis Suarez thing ever as he appeals for handball against the keeper, and fans absolutely love it
LUIS SUAREZ bizarrely appealed for handball against the GOALKEEPER who was inside his own box – and football fans loved it.
And it got even better – minutes later he then implored the referee to book an opponent for kicking out at a PITCH INVADER.
The Barcelona star was featuring for Uruguay in their Copa America game against Chile.
With 21 minutes on the clock Suarez took the ball to the right of the goal and tried to cross to team-mate Edinson Cavani in the box for a tap-in.
But Chile keeper Gabriel Arias got back in the nick of time to deflect the ball out with his arm for a corner.
But incredibly Suarez raised his arm into the air and looked in the direction of the referee to award a penalty.
Jordan Henshall posted on Twitter “Jesus wept”, while another wondered “why is he like this”.
Another football fans described the former Liverpool striker as a “clown”.
Just 10 minutes later the 32-year-old was again gesticulating to the ref – this time to show a yellow card to Chile defender Gonzalo Jara for kicking out at a pitch invader.
The fan was wearing a chicken head costume when he was felled expertly by Jara and then escorted off the pitch.

But Suarez seemingly wasn’t too happy with the ‘foul’ play and waved his hands again at the referee.
It was five years to the day when Suarez infamously bit Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini in a group stage decider at the 2014 World Cup, which saw him banned for four months.
Suarez’s strike partner Cavani later grabbed the only goal of the game which saw 15-times Copa America champions Uruguay finish top of Group C ahead of Chile to set up a quarter-final tie with Peru.
