the Balbi family moved to Barcelona in 2003, and Su\u00e1rez&#8217;s focus on football strengthened as a result as he wanted to follow them to Europe to join Sof\u00eda again. Su\u00e1rez married her in 2009, and the couple have a daughter named Delfina (born 2010) and two sons named Benjamin (born 2013) and Lauti (born 2018). He has a tattoo of his daughter&#8217;s name Delfina on his wrist which he kisses as part of his goal celebration \u2013 this celebration routine is featured in EA Sports\u2019 video game FIFA 15 as &#8220;Kiss The Wrist&#8221;. On 11 July 2014, Su\u00e1rez joined Barcelona, allowing him to live closer with his wife Sof\u00eda&#8217;s family. On the move, Su\u00e1rez said, &#8220;[Liverpool] did all they could to get me to stay, but playing and living in Spain, where my wife&#8217;s family live, is a lifelong dream and ambition. I believe now the timing is right.&#8221; In 2014, Su\u00e1rez released his autobiography, Crossing the Line \u2013 My Story. Su\u00e1rez who is married to an Italian citizen, flew to Perugia in September 2020, to do a B1 Italian language exam in order to gain Italian citizenship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">2005<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>Su\u00e1rez joined local side Nacional&#8217;s youth team at age 14. At age 16, Su\u00e1rez headbutted a referee after showing his discontent following a red card, although a sports editor claimed he &#8220;accidentally fell into the referee&#8221;. One night, he was caught drinking and partying, prompting his coach to threaten he would never play unless he started playing football more seriously. In May 2005, at age 18, Su\u00e1rez made his first-team debut against Atl\u00e9tico Junior in the Copa Libertadores. He scored his first goal in September 2005 and helped Nacional win the 2005\u201306 Uruguayan league with 10 goals in 27 matches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">2007<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>Su\u00e1rez was 19 years old when he joined Groningen. Initially, Su\u00e1rez struggled because he could not speak Dutch or English, and he played on the second team to adjust to the Dutch game. His teammate and fellow Uruguayan, Bruno Silva, helped him settle into living in the Netherlands and playing for a new team. He worked hard to learn Dutch and his teammates respected him for his efforts with the language. Su\u00e1rez scored goals for Groningen, but he also had disciplinary problems; in one five-game stretch in January 2007, he scored four goals but received three yellow cards and one red card. Su\u00e1rez especially made his mark in a 4\u20133 home win over Vitesse, when with ten minutes to go he subsequently won a penalty and scored two goals. Su\u00e1rez ended with 10 goals in 29 league appearances to help Groningen finish eighth in the 2006\u201307 Eredivisie. He also scored in a 4\u20132 loss to Serbian club Partizan in his European debut on 14 September 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Ajax saw potential in Su\u00e1rez and offered Groningen \u20ac3.5 million for him, but Groningen rejected the offer. Su\u00e1rez was upset and brought his case to the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB)&#8217;s arbitration committee to try to facilitate the sale. The arbitration committee ruled against him on 9 August 2007, but that same day, Ajax increased their offer to \u20ac7.5 million and Groningen accepted.<\/p>\n<p>Su\u00e1rez made his senior debut for Uruguay on 8 February 2007 in a 3\u20131 win against Colombia. He was sent off in the 85th minute after receiving a second yellow card for dissent. Su\u00e1rez played in 19 of 20 games in 2010 World Cup qualifying and the inter-confederation play-offs and scored five goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">2010<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>On 20 November 2010, Su\u00e1rez bit PSV&#8217;s Otman Bakkal on the shoulder during a 0\u20130 draw. Ajax suspended him for two matches and fined him an undisclosed amount, which the club said they would donate to a &#8220;good cause&#8221;. The Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraaf branded Su\u00e1rez the &#8220;Cannibal of Ajax&#8221;. The KNVB increased Su\u00e1rez&#8217;s suspension to seven league matches. Su\u00e1rez apologised for his actions through a video he uploaded to his Facebook page.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2010, \u00d3scar Tab\u00e1rez named Su\u00e1rez to Uruguay&#8217;s 23-man World Cup squad. Uruguay began the tournament with a 0\u20130 draw against France. In the second match, a 3\u20130 win over South Africa, Su\u00e1rez drew a penalty and assisted \u00c1lvaro Pereira&#8217;s stoppage time goal. In the final match of the group stage, he headed in a goal off a pass from Edinson Cavani and was named Man of the Match in a 1\u20130 win over Mexico.

On 28 January 2011, they accepted a \u20ac26.5 million (\u00a322.8 million) offer for Su\u00e1rez from Premier League club Liverpool. Despite leaving while suspended, Su\u00e1rez departed Ajax on good terms, and he was given a farewell sendoff after an Ajax match. During the sendoff, an Ajax coach spoke to him and the crowd and said how the club wished he could stay longer; the crowd applauded their agreement and fireworks followed. Ajax ended the 2010\u201311 season as Eredivisie champions and Su\u00e1rez was given a winner&#8217;s medal for his 7 goals in 13 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>On 31 January 2011, Su\u00e1rez signed a five-and-a-half-year deal with Liverpool until 2016, and was the club&#8217;s most expensive signing (\u00a322.8 million) until the arrival of Andy Carroll (\u00a335 million) a few hours later. Su\u00e1rez requested the number seven shirt, which had been worn by Liverpool legends Kenny Dalglish, his new manager, Kevin Keegan, and Peter Beardsley<\/p>\n<p>After a 1\u20131 draw against Manchester United on 15 October 2011, Su\u00e1rez was accused of racially abusing Evra, and the FA opened up an investigation into the incident. Su\u00e1rez wrote on his Twitter and Facebook pages that he was upset by the accusation and denied the claims. On 16 November, the FA announced it would charge Su\u00e1rez with &#8220;abusive and\/or insulting words and\/or behaviour contrary to FA rules&#8221;, including &#8220;a reference to the ethnic origin and\/or colour and\/or race of Patrice Evra&#8221;. Liverpool later released a statement announcing Su\u00e1rez would plead innocent, adding they would &#8220;remain fully supportive&#8221; of him. On 20 December, the FA concluded a seven-day hearing, handing Su\u00e1rez an eight-match ban and a \u00a340,000 fine for racially abusing Evra.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2011 Copa Am\u00e9rica, Su\u00e1rez scored in Uruguay&#8217;s opening game, a 1\u20131 draw with Peru. Uruguay finished second in their group and advanced to the knockout round with a win, 1\u20130 against Mexico, and two draws, against Peru and Chile. In the quarter-finals, Uruguay drew with tournament hosts Argentina 1\u20131 after regulation and extra time. Uruguay won the shootout 5\u20134 and Su\u00e1rez converted his penalty. Su\u00e1rez scored both goals in Uruguay&#8217;s 2\u20130 semi-final win over Peru and was named Man of the Match. In the final, Su\u00e1rez scored the opening goal as Uruguay defeated Paraguay 3\u20130 for their record 15th Copa Am\u00e9rica title.

On 26 August, he scored his first goal of the 2012\u201313 season in a 2\u20132 draw with champions Manchester City at Anfield. On 29 September 2012, Su\u00e1rez scored a hat-trick in Liverpool&#8217;s Premier League fixture away at Norwich City for the second consecutive season.<\/p>\n<p>On 9 July 2012, Su\u00e1rez was selected for the Uruguay Olympic football team alongside Liverpool teammate Sebasti\u00e1n Coates to compete in the 2012 Olympic Games. In the first pre-tournament warm-up game against Chile on 11 July, Su\u00e1rez scored a hat-trick for Uruguay as they came from 0\u20132 down to win 6\u20134 in a thrilling match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">2013<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>On 6 January 2013, Su\u00e1rez handled the ball before scoring the decisive goal in Liverpool&#8217;s 2\u20131 win over Mansfield Town from the Conference National in an FA Cup third round match. Liverpool&#8217;s manager Brendan Rodgers defended his player by claiming &#8220;it&#8217;s not his job to own up&#8221;, while Mansfield manager Paul Cox said he felt &#8220;a little bit gutted&#8221; by the &#8220;instinctive&#8221; handball, but admitted he would have accepted a goal scored like that by one of his players.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the season, Su\u00e1rez was one of six players named on the shortlist for PFA Players&#8217; Player of the Year. Su\u00e1rez finished second in the final ballot behind Gareth Bale of Tottenham and was named in the PFA Team of the Year. He was second-top goalscorer in the Premier League for 2012\u201313 with 23 goals and Liverpool&#8217;s top scorer in all competitions with 30 goals. On 28 May 2013, he was named as Liverpool&#8217;s player of the season after receiving 64% of votes in a poll of the club&#8217;s supporters.<\/p>\n<p>On 21 April 2013, during a 2\u20132 draw with Chelsea in a Premier League match at Anfield, Su\u00e1rez bit Branislav Ivanovi\u0107; this was the second time Su\u00e1rez had bitten an opponent. It was not noticed by the officials, and Su\u00e1rez scored an equaliser in injury time. The bite prompted UK Prime Minister David Cameron to call on the FA to take a hard line with Su\u00e1rez: the FA charged him with violent conduct and he was fined an undisclosed sum by his club. Contrary to claims from Su\u00e1rez, Ivanovi\u0107 did not accept an apology. Su\u00e1rez accepted the violent conduct charge but denied the FA&#8217;s claim the standard punishment of three matches was clearly insufficient for his offence. A three-man independent panel appointed by the FA decided on a ten-game ban for Su\u00e1rez, who did not appeal the ban; the panel criticised Su\u00e1rez for not appreciating &#8220;the seriousness&#8221; of the incident when he argued against a long ban. The panel also wanted to send a &#8220;strong message that such deplorable behaviours do not have a place in football&#8221;, while noting that &#8220;all players in the higher level of the game are seen as role models, have the duty to act professionally and responsibly, and set the highest example of good conduct to the rest of the game \u2013 especially to young players&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>On 31 May 2013, Su\u00e1rez said he would be seeking an exit from Liverpool in the summer, citing excessive media attention on his family as a reason for wanting to leave. On 6 August, after Liverpool had rejected a bid of \u00a340,000,001 for the player from Arsenal, Su\u00e1rez reiterated his wish to leave Liverpool and said Liverpool had previously promised to allow him a transfer if the club failed to qualify for the 2013\u201314 UEFA Champions League. The following day, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said Liverpool had not broken any promises to Su\u00e1rez and that the player had shown &#8220;total disrespect&#8221; for the club. After this incident, the British press reported that Su\u00e1rez had been instructed to train away from the Liverpool first-team squad by Rodgers. On 8 August, Liverpool owner John W. Henry stated that Su\u00e1rez would not be allowed to leave the club.<\/p>\n<p>Su\u00e1rez ended the 2014 World Cup qualification campaign as top scorer in the South American section with 11 goals in 14 matches. In November 2013, Uruguay defeated Jordan 5\u20130 on aggregate in an intercontinental play-off to qualify for the 2014 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Su\u00e1rez has been widely accused of diving. His manager, teammates and various analysts have commented that this reputation for simulation has caused referees not to award him legitimate penalties. In January 2013, Su\u00e1rez admitted to diving against Stoke City in an October 2012 match. This led his manager Brendan Rodgers to comment his actions were &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; and that he would be dealt with &#8220;internally&#8221; by the club. During the 2018 World Cup game against Portugal, after collisions with Portuguese players, Suarez twice acted like he had a head injury despite Suarez&#8217;s head not being touched.<\/p>\n<p>Due to his diving, biting, stamping, and other antics, Su\u00e1rez has been frequently labelled as a pest and a cheat. In December 2013, Spanish football website El Gol Digital ranked Su\u00e1rez at fifth in its list of the world&#8217;s dirtiest footballers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">2014<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>On 1 January 2014, by scoring in a 2\u20130 home win over Hull City, Su\u00e1rez became the first Liverpool player to score 20 or more goals in successive Premier League seasons since Robbie Fowler in 1994\u201395 and 1995\u201396. He equalled Andy Cole&#8217;s Premier League record for the earliest date to reach the 20-goal mark, but set a new record low of 15 matches. His strike partnership this season with Daniel Sturridge has earned them a nickname &#8220;SAS&#8221;, i.e., Sturridge and Su\u00e1rez&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>On 18 April, Su\u00e1rez was named as one of the six players nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award for the second consecutive season. On 27 April, he won the award, becoming the first non-European to win the award. On 5 May 2014, Su\u00e1rez was named as the Football Association Writers Player of the Year. He finished the season with 31 goals in 33 matches, winning the Premier League Golden Boot, with Sturridge as runner-up, as Liverpool came second in the league and returned to the UEFA Champions League. Su\u00e1rez also won the Barclay&#8217;s Premier League Player of the Season award. As the Premier League&#8217;s top scorer with 31 goals, he also shared the European Golden Shoe with Cristiano Ronaldo. On 21 May 2014, Su\u00e1rez ranked number one on &#8220;Europe&#8217;s most influential player&#8221; list of the year, ahead of Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovi\u0107 and Cristiano Ronaldo, according to a study by Bloomberg of the top five European leagues.<\/p>\n<p>On 11 July 2014, Su\u00e1rez agreed with Barcelona on a five-year contract for an undisclosed transfer fee. However, according to a leaked document by Football Leaks, the fee was \u00a364.98 million (\u20ac82.3 million), making him one of the most expensive players in world football history. Bar\u00e7a confirmed Su\u00e1rez would wear the number 9 shirt for the 2014\u201315 season.<\/p>\n<p>On 24 July, Su\u00e1rez and his lawyers filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and requested the sanctions be reduced or the suspension to be lifted. The parties were heard at a hearing which took place at the CAS offices in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 8 August. Six days later, the CAS confirmed the ban imposed by FIFA against Su\u00e1rez, who remained suspended from football for four months, as well as a nine-match ban in internationals, the first of which was served in the Uruguay&#8217;s round of 16 match against Colombia in the 2014 World Cup. However, the CAS removed the player&#8217;s &#8220;football-related activities&#8221; ban and was allowed to train with Barcelona. As a result of this ban, Su\u00e1rez was banned from participating in the 2015 Copa Am\u00e9rica.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">2015<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>On 24 February 2015, Su\u00e1rez scored twice as Bar\u00e7a defeated English champions Manchester City 2\u20131 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie.

In the post-match press conference, his coach Luis Enrique lauded Su\u00e1rez, saying, &#8220;Very few players can score a goal like he did, and that is why we signed him. He can decide games. He&#8217;s a pure scorer, who needs very little to finish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Su\u00e1rez opened the season by scoring and assisting on a goal in Barcelona&#8217;s 5\u20134 extra-time victory over Sevilla in the 2015 UEFA Super Cup, on 11 August 2015. The next day, he was named one of the three finalists for the 2015 UEFA Best Player in Europe Award. On 31 October, Su\u00e1rez scored in a 2\u20130 away win against Getafe after being assisted with a backheel from Sergi Roberto. This was his 11th goal of the season and his 300th senior career goal. On 21 November, Su\u00e1rez scored twice in Barcelona&#8217;s 4\u20130 away win against Real Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>On 17 December, Su\u00e1rez scored all three goals as Barcelona defeated Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande 3\u20130 in the 2015 FIFA Club World Cup semi-final in Yokohama, Japan, becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in the competition&#8217;s history. He then scored twice in Barcelona&#8217;s 3\u20130 win over Argentine club River Plate in the final.

The club confirmed after the match that Su\u00e1rez had suffered an injury to his right hamstring, and would likely miss at least part of the upcoming Copa Am\u00e9rica Centenario with his national football team. For Uruguay, Su\u00e1rez also previously missed part of the 2014 World Cup and the entire 2015 Copa Am\u00e9rica through suspension. The front three of Messi, Su\u00e1rez and Neymar finished the season with 131 goals, breaking the record they had set the previous year for most goals by an attacking trio in a single season.<\/p>\n<p>On 25 March 2016, after over a year of international absence for Uruguay, Su\u00e1rez scored an equalizer against Brazil in Recife for a 2\u20132 draw in the qualification process for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Su\u00e1rez was included in Uruguay&#8217;s 23-man squad for the Copa Am\u00e9rica Centenario, although a hamstring injury sustained in the 2016 Copa del Rey final on 22 May put his place in the team in jeopardy. Although he remained in the squad, he missed both of his national side&#8217;s opening group losses to Mexico and Venezuela, which resulted in a first-round elimination from the tournament.

He won his 100th cap on 20 June 2018 in Uruguay&#8217;s second group match at the World Cup, scoring the only goal against Saudi Arabia at the Rostov Arena in Rostov-on-Don to advance the nation into the last 16. In the final group game on 25 June, Su\u00e1rez scored Uruguay&#8217;s opener with a free kick into the bottom corner in a 3\u20130 win over hosts Russia. In the Round of 16 match against Portugal on 30 June, he set-up Cavani&#8217;s opening goal in an eventual 2\u20131 victory.
