Luis Suarez faces the prospect of a big financial hit following his alleged biting of Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini, with existing sponsorship deals potentially being ripped up and future endorsements put in jeopardy. Though the team ended placing second behind Manchester City, it gained many supporters for its attacking flair and Suarez was voted player of the year. The signing up of Suarez, who is a keen poker enthusiast, was a further sign that Suarez had rehabilitated his image following a biting incident with Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic the previous season. A far bigger profile for Suarez comes from adidas, which is FIFA's oldest partner - the relationship goes back to 1970.
