Barcelona and Uruguay’s Luis Suarez just cannot escape the limelight wherever he travels in this world.
This time, a taxi driver in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, noticed the 27-year-old star had discreetly boarded his cab at the airport.
Much to the chagrin of Suarez, the cabbie quickly snapped a “selfie” with the player from where he was sitting.
Despite being one of the world’s best players, he did not look too happy to be recognized in the photo.
Suarez is in the Middle East for a friendly with the Uruguay national team.
Although he’s banned for eight competitive fixtures after taking a munch on Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup, the Barcelona forward can participate in friendles and is expected to start Friday’s game against the Saudis.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich’s players were in a far better mood over the weekend, as they let their hair down at the annual Oktoberfest festivities.
The German giants celebrated their 4-0 win over Hannover on Saturday evening — which maintains their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga — by donning traditional ‘Lederhosen’ outfits for the party.
Players including Thomas Mueller and Polish striker Robert Lewandowski arrived with their wives and girlfriends for the celebration.
Head coach Pep Guardiola, who arrived alone, was spotted enjoying several pints of beer, the main staple of the festival.
Spain national Xabi Alonso posed for numerous pictures with his wife, as he wore a traditional green hat and clutched a beer of his own.
His Spanish teammate Thiago Alcantara and accompanying WAG also enjoyed pretzels and posted a group photo of the team having fun at the event.
More pictures on the club’s official Twitter and Instagram accounts showed the players in fetching chequered shirts and braces, as they arrived via coach to the world-renowned Munich event.
The club’s official Instagram profile uploaded a picture with the message, ‘Off we go to #Oktoberfest! They’ve deserved it after their performances in recent weeks!’
The Oktoberfest has also attracted the attention of other high-profile athletes in the world.
On Friday, Olympic gold-medallist and world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, was also pictured enjoying the sights and sounds of the festival in Munich.
