On Saturday, February 11, Luiz Suarez refused to shake hands with Patrice Evra before the Manchester United vs. Liverpool game. Suarez refused to shake Evra's hand after being banned for 8 games because he racially abused Evra earlier between the two clubs in October.
Managing Directer of Liverpool, Ian Ayre, said "We are extremely disappointed Luis Suarez did not shake hands with Patrice Evra before yesterday's game. The player had told us beforehand that he would, but then chose not to do so."
Luiz Suarez apologized later on Sunday and said, "I have spoken with the manager (Kenny Dalglish) since the game at Old Trafford and I realize I got things wrong.
"I've not only let him down, but also the club and what it stands for and I'm sorry. I made a mistake and I regret what happened."I should have shaken Patrice Evra's hand before the game and I want to apologize for my actions.
"I would like to put this whole issue behind me and concentrate on playing football."
At the final whistle, Evra celebrated his teams victory at a close range to Luiz Suarez but he also got in trouble by his manager.
