Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz, nicknamed "El Pistolero", is considered one of the best football players of his generation. The athlete was included alongside Messi and Neymar in the so-called MSN trio, winning with his team La Liga, La Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League right from the first season. He represented his country, among other competitions, at four editions of the World Cup, five editions of Copa America and the 2012 Olympic Games. Probably one of the most known incidents in his career was the one on June 24, 2014, during the last match in the group at the World Cup. Uruguay needed a victory against Italy led by Buffon, while the Italians were also satisfied with a draw to move on. In the 79th minute of the match, with the score at 0-0, Suárez bit the Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini, while the Italians waited for a cross. The replays showed that Suárez lunged at Chiellini and bit his shoulder.
