Luis Suarez is in the eye of the storm after being caught spitting at a member of Seattle Soundersā coaching staff following Inter Miamiās 3-0 loss in the 2025 Leagues Cup final.
The game ended in chaos at Lumen Field as a huge brawl broke out after the final whistle. Punches were thrown between both teams and it took a few minutes for everyone to calm down.
It didnāt take long for fans to react on social media, with Suarez becoming the target of heavy criticism for his poor attitude. It was a forgettable day for Inter Miami, who left a lot to be desired not only during the game, but also after it.
Luis Suarez once again involved in a controversial action
Suarez is now facing a potential sanction from Major League Soccer for his actions, though his Inter Miami teammates could also be punished for the altercation that took place with the Sounders.
This is not the first time the Uruguayan striker is at the center of controversial behavior with a member of an opposing team. In 2014, Suarez was handed a four-month ban after infamously biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup played in Brazil.
