<p><strong>Biting an opponent is one of the biggest sins a professional athlete can make</strong> while playing on the court or on the field. Big time athletes are no strangers to these strange occurrences that can take place either because of frustration or just a reaction to a given play. No other athletes have ever been singled out more for biting than<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-suarez" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Luis Suárez</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/the-top-10-quickest-mike-tyson-knockouts-20200811-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Tyson</a>. Suárez bit opponents on three separate occasions, while Tyson famously took a chunk of Evander Holyfield’s ear in a world heavyweight boxing match.</p>
<p>Now both might have new company as <strong>French midfielder <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-paul-pogba-already-has-four-interested-clubs-as-his-man-united-deal-expires-next-season-20210609-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paul Pogba</a> claimed</strong> after yesterday’s Euro 2020 match between France and Germany<strong> that Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger bit him near the end of the first half.</strong> Pogba immediately reacted and told the referee of the strange incident. Nonetheless after the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/euro-2020-best-memes-and-reactions-to-france-beating-germany-with-hummels-own-goal-and-pogba-s-masterclass-20210615-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1-0 French victory</a>, Pogba told the media: <em>“I’m not crying for cards, yellow, red cards because of such actions. He nibbled, I think, a little bit on me. But we have known each other for a long time.”</em></p>
<p>While Pogba may not seek sanctions UEFA may, and the incident immediately brought back memories of past biting incidents that continue to be discussed even today. <strong>Here is a look back at past soccer biting incidents!</strong></p>
