Suarez earned a reputation for being a diver during his time in the both the Premier League and LaLiga.
The accusations led to the Uruguayan producing a diving celebration in front of former Everton boss David Moyes when he plied his trade with Liverpool.
And it seems Suarez is still at his old tricks, having produced a theatrical fall during Gremio’s loss following a challenge.
The ex-Barca ace then launched himself in the air, before beginning to spin as he fell to the ground rolling around.
He could then be seen gesturing towards the referee asking him to brandish a card.
Suarez was certainly caught and Internacional defender Rene was given a yellow card.
Though the Gremio talisman could then be seen laughing on the turf as cameras panned towards him.
Fans were quick to comment after the clip went viral with one likening him to a move performed by WWE legend ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin.
