Live cannibalism

This term is associated with the Death Metal band, Cannibal Corpse. Every single one of their live concerts is labelled as ‘Live Cannibalism’ where they perform their own morbidly titled songs. In this context, though, the performance could be more literal.
Yes, by now, you might have understood who I am talking about—shame on you if you haven’t already—as it is none other than Luis Suarez who is capable of such terrible feats on a football pitch.
I remember my younger cousin being one of the most dreadful kids to handle when in anger. He used to hit anyone near him, pull out the hair of his elder sister, but the worst part? He loved biting. It was as though, in his eyes, the human beings around him metamorphosed to some delicious meal and taking a bite out of it became an absolute necessity.
Luis Suarez perhaps goes through, or went through, a similar predicament. At first, he confused Otman Bakkal for a Pannenkaoken, then he thought Branislav was a Serbian Pljeskavica and then, finally, his glutton for Pepperoni Pizza was ignited when he saw Giorgio Chiellini in front of him.
Ever since joining Barcelona, however, he has toned down his antics and hasn’t confused people for food. And that has done him a world of good. Since donning the stripes of Barca, he has gone on to another level entirely.
He is more focused on the football rather than riling up his opponents—something that has made this season his best ever one already. However, one can never write off a food lover’s craving.
If anyone of Real Madrid’s player does anything to set his temper off, he might once again get back to his former self and perform live cannibalism on the pitch. And in a clash as steamy as this, it could happen—making it the utmost Clasico of all time.
