PIC: French newspaper ramps up the banter on the reunion between Luis Suarez and Giorgio Chiellini

Tres bien

In case you’re the only person who hasn’t heard, the Champions League final will see Luis Suarez come face-to-face with Giorgio Chiellini for the first time since he chomped down on his shoulder.

Quite literally every media outlet is talking about the tension that will likely have all the eruption of a James Milner lullaby but we can hope for maybe a little bit of fireworks.

And despite the tidal wave of coverage on the coming together of the Uruguayan and Italian, no newspaper has made us chuckle as much as L’Equipe‘s take on the reunion.

The French publication has produced this picture ahead of Saturday’s clash between Barcelona and Juventus with the caption: Barca – Juve: Suarez is stepping up preparations for his reunion with Chiellini.
