Twitter Tears Luis Suarez Apart After Referee Fails to Spot Controversial ‘Roundhouse Kick’

?Luis Suarez has been up to the old antics that have made him famous – or infamous – around football after a fresh scrap against Deportivo Alaves on Sunday.

Alaves initially went ahead through Manchester City old boy John Guidetti, but goals from Suarez and Lionel Messi secured the win for Barca after an early scare at their own ground.

But just after Messi put Barca in front, the frustrations felt by Suarez, who had been kept at bay Alaves’ defence for most of the game, broke through as the Uruguayan kicked out at Ruben Duarte before a Barcelona corner.

The incident was not seen by the referee and subsequently Suarez has seemingly got away with it. However, the incident was picked up by the cameras just behind the goal and fans have absolutely torn the striker apart on Twitter.

Suarez wtf was that. Should be a red card that. Why do that? He has been so frustrated lately. Picking up too many cards, complaining all the time and now this. Hope it won’t cause a suspension.

??Most of those who saw the incident are predicting a ban coming the Uruguayan’s way in the future, much like those Suarez has suffered in the past for both of his ‘biting’ incidents with Branislav Ivanovic and Giorgio Chiellini.

How the hell has Suarez got away with that, he kicked out. I suppose the Alaves player is lucky that he didn’t bite him

Suarez should get at least 3 game ban for that

Barcelona Winger Gerard Deulofeu Returns to the PL to Join Watford on Loan Until End of the Season

?Barcelona have confirmed that winger Gerard Deulofeu has joined Watford on loan until the end of the season.

The Spaniard has made 10 La Liga appearances for the club this season, however the recent arrival of Philippe Coutinho as well as Ousmane Dembele returning from injury looks to have pushed the winger out of the side at least for the rest of this season.

The club confirmed on their ?website that the 23-year-old has joined the Premier League outfit for the rest of the season.

This won’t be Deulofeu’s first experience in the Premier League, after he spent a season on loan at Everton before moving to Goodison Park on a permanent in 2015. He was signed from Barcelona for a fee of around £4m and spent two seasons on Merseyside, making 75 appearances in his two spells at the club.

Unfortunately for Everton fans, Barcelona activated the buy-back clause that was put in his contract, bringing him back to the Nou Camp in time for the start of the 2017-18 season.

As for Watford, they are searching for the kind of form they showed at the start of the season which found them as high as fourth during October. They have now won just one of their last 11 league games, and find themselves sliding down the table. They recently sacked Marco Silva after a run of poor results, and have turned to Javi Garcia to try and overturn the club’s fortunes.

Fans will be encouraged by the loan signing of Deulofeu, a player who was brought up through La Masia and has represented Barcelona’s senior team and ‘B’ team 110 times.

Watford will travel to Stoke in their next Premier League outing as they attempt to stop the run of winless results and give the fans some positives to take away from the game.

The Incredible Stat That Proves Just How Crucial Messi’s Presence Has Been at Barcelona

Just where might Barcelona have been without Lionel Messi all these years?

We’ll never know, but we can be sure they’d be nowhere near where they’re at now.

The Argentinian star has done it all for his club, firing them to every bit of silverware available over the last decade-and-a-half.

Even at the age of 30, Messi is still one of the most gorgonising attackers in all of Europe, and his record speaks for itself. But it’s his consistency we’ve all come to admire, and over the past 10 seasons, he’s worked up an incredible stat.

The forward scored his 20th league goal of the season in Barca’s comeback win over Alaves on Sunday, a tally which has left him with at least 20 La Liga strikes in the last 10 campaigns.

Sunday’s goal also pushed him to the fourth spot in the ‘500 goals for one club’ crew, putting him level with former Slavia Prague forward Josef Bican on 534.

He only has Brazil legend Pele (643 for Santos), Fernando Peyroteo (544 for Sporting CP) and Gerd Muller (566 for Bayern Munich) to beat now.

But it really doesn’t seem that hard just because he’s Messi.

‘Barca or Nothing’: Spain Defender Gerard Pique Vows to End Career With Catalan Giants

Barcelona and Spain defender Gerard Pique has expressed a desire to remain at Camp Nou until he hangs up his boots.

The 30-year-old began his playing career with the Catalan side but spent four years at Manchester United before returning in 2008. He has since grown into one of Europe’s premier centre-backs, having achieved quite a lot since his return to Spain.

On Monday, ?Pique signed a four-and-a-half-year deal to remain with the club until 2022 and insisted that he would have retired if he wasn’t offered a new deal, as he doesn’t see himself playing anywhere else.

“Barça is my home and I thank everyone who has made it possible to continue here,” the defender said during a press con?ference which was held to officially announce the contract renewal.

“I can only see myself in a Barça shirt. If I had not extended my contract then I would have stopped playing because I only play football because I play for Barça.

“I hope to finish my career here. I am not interested in playing for another team. It’s Barça or nothing.”

“It’s a special day, Gerard Piqué is an experienced player, a Barça fan from birth and let’s hope we can continue to keep winning trophies,” club president Josep Bartomeu added. “The deal was an easy one.”

The player has helped Barca win six La Liga titles in the last decade, and they’re on course to win another this season. They currently hold an 11-point lead atop the standings in Spain’s top flight, and also boast a 19-point advantage over fourth-placed Real Madrid.
