Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini, the most recent victim of a Luis Suarez bite, said he will hug the Barcelona forward when they meet in Berlin.
Suarez sank his teeth into Chiellini's shoulder during Italy’s
World Cup group game against Uruguay in Brazil last June and was
subsequently banned for four months.
The pair have not been in contact since the famous incident in
Natal, but will meet for the first time
in Berlin when Barca and Juve
battle it out for the title of European champions.
"I have to think about him as a player, how he moves, his great skill but nothing more."
Suarez will also face former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra during the final in Berlin, and eyes will be on the pair during the pre-match formalities.
