CHEWY SUAREZ

Neymar pranks Barcelona team-mate Luis Suarez by fooling him into eating chewing gum straight from his mouth

Strikepartners mess around in tunnel as Lionel Messi joins his South American pals in destroying Leganes

LUIS SUAREZ was left shocked and gum-founded another chewing incident.

This time the ex-Liverpool hero was the victim as Barcelona team-mate Neymar fooled him with a chewing-gum prank.

Brazilian Neymar was in the tunnel when he handed his Uruguayan strike-partner gum straight from his mouth.

A wicked smile crept across Neymar's face as he handed it over to a bemused Suarez, who took the joke with an even bigger smile.

Suarez has picked up three bans for biting.

He was suspended for seven games after attacking PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal as an Ajax player in 2010, before earning a 10-match ban three years later for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.

Then a bite on Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup led to a four-month suspension.

Since then, though, Suarez has focused on rivalling Neymar and Messi for goals and plaudits in one of the greatest three-pronged attacks in football history.

In fact, Messi netted two, with Suarez, Neymar and Rafinha also scoring in the 6-1 win over Leganes.
