Luis Suarez once tried to get Chile player sent off after he tackled pitch invader

Biting opposition players, saving a shot with his hands, appealing for a handball for a goalkeeper — Luis Suarez has done it all.

However, the list does not stop there. Back in 2019, the Atletico Madrid striker actually tried to get a player sent off for tackling a pitch invader.

The bizarre incident happened during a Copa America clash between Uruguay and Chile when a chicken mask-wearing encroacher suddenly burst on the pitch.

The man was tackled defender Gonzalo Jara and Suarez then tried to appeal to the referee, gesturing for a card to be shown to the Chilean. Jara was, of course, not punished.

A man invades the pitch:

He's tackled by Jara...:

...and has to be taken off in a stretcher:

Suarez actually wants a red card for the Chilean!
