Vine: Luis Suarez (jokingly) tried to bite Lionel Messi at Champions League draw

Jaws of death

Ben Kiely

A joke is a joke is a joke, but an ill-advised joke is no joke… unless that’s the joke.

Footage has emerged of Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez joshing around backstage at the Champions League draw on Thursday.

The clip shows the former Liverpool man appearing to lunge forward with his mouth open, in a comical attempt  to take a “bite” out of the Argentine footballing wizard.

Messi dramatically leaps backwarrds, and the duo yuck it up over Suarez making a funny.

Considering Suarez’s track-record i.e. biting Otman Bakkal, Branislav Ivanovic and Giorgio Chiellini, it probably wasn’t the most appropriate subject matter to share a gag about.
