How Suarez reacted to Ivanovic bite
Luiz Suarez biting Chelsea defender Branislav
Ivanovic will forever be one of the most remarkable incidents to have occurred
in the Premier League. And Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes it cost
the Reds the title 12 months later. Champions League fans around the
world can buy online Champions League Final Tickets to enjoy its stunning performances.
Suarez sunk his teeth into Serbian’s arm during a 2-2 draw at
Anfield towards the end of the 2013/14 campaign and subsequently received a
ten-match ban.
That kept the Uruguayan out of the start of the following
season, an absence which Carragher feels did more damage than many realized at
the time.
"When he came in the dressing room, Luis (Suarez) denied
it at first, probably hoping the cameras hadn't picked it up," Carragher
told Sky Sports' The Football Show. "I think it had a massive
effect on Liverpool next season because Suarez got a seven, eight-game ban.
"I think he missed the first four or five games the
following season when Liverpool almost won the title,” the former defender told
Sky Sports.
"There were two games that Liverpool dropped points in,
I think they lost to Southampton 1-0 and drew away at Swansea so five points
dropped in the first four or five games and Luis Suarez didn't play.
"The form he was in that season, there was a good chance
he might have turned one of those games.
"That act and the ban he got probably affected Liverpool
more next season as there wasn't too much riding on that season before.”
Chelsea could miss out on Champions League football if
coefficients used
One suggestion reportedly discussed during a conference call
between WHO (World Health Organization) and UEFA on Tuesday would be to decide
who gets the European spots by their current UEFA Coefficient.
That would come as music to all Arsenal fans' ears, as they
sit fourth in those UEFA rankings, with Manchester City (112) Liverpool (99)
and Manchester United (91) the only English teams ahead of them.
That would mean Leicester City and Chelsea would both miss
out on Champions League football despite sitting third and fourth in the
current standings.
Forgotten Chelsea midfielder in the
dark over future
Blues midfielder Marco van Ginkel does not know if he will be
offered a new contract at Stamford Bridge as he nears full fitness after almost
two years on the sidelines.
