There were two minutes of time added on at the end of Barcelona’s 3-0 win over Las Palmas on Sunday… but Luis Suarez decided that was one too many.
After missing a chance to make it 4-0 in the first minute of stoppage time, Suarez ripped open his shirt like the Incredible Hulk and then walked off the pitch.
Suarez, who had earlier set up one of two goals for Lionel Messi inside an empty Nou Camp, looked frustrated as he trudged around the outside of field towards the dressing rooms while his team-mates played out the remainder of the contest.

After his miss, 30-year-old Suarez ripped his shirt and opted not to play the remaining minute
The 30-year-old’s strange tantrum saw the game end in an amusing farce after it began amid seriously worrying scenes in Catalonia.
Ugly clashes throughout the region had been played out throughout the day as Catalonia held a referendum on independence from Spain.
The vote had been declared illegal by the country’s ruling Partido Popular, and there were violent scenes as police were deployed to stop people voting.
Hundreds of people had been injured and there were reports of rubber bullets fired against citizens attempting to access polling stations.
As kickoff drew closer it seemed the game would be called off but, as tensions were rising at the gates of the stadium for fans to be let in, it became clear that the game was to go ahead without spectators.

Although an empty Nou Camp provided a rare sight, what happened on the pitch was business as usual for 90 minutes.
It took Barca until early in the second half to break the deadlock courtesy of Sergio Busquets, but their ninth straight win in all competitions never looked in doubt.
Messi made sure of the victory with goals on 70 and 77 minutes before sending Suarez through on goal with a brilliant pass late on.
Suarez took the shot on early, dragged it wide and then called it a day. He has only scored twice in eight games this season, after bagging 37 in 51 last term.
