PATRICE EVRA HAS seemingly moved to bury the hatchet with Luis Suarez after congratulating the Barcelona striker on winning the Golden Shoe award.
Suarez was given an eight-match ban by the Football Association after he was found guilty of racially abusing Evra during Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool in October 2011.
The Uruguay international, who had always maintained that the language he used towards Evra was misinterpreted, caused further controversy when he refused to shake the full-back’s hand in a later match.
But Evra appears to have put the dispute behind them after hailing Suarez as “the best number nine” in a post on his official Instagram page.
Alongside a photograph of Suarez holding the Golden Shoe trophy, Evra wrote: “In my Instagram there is only love and never hate!
“Luis, you’re a great player, the best number nine. Congratulations Luis. I love this game!”
Suarez claimed the Golden Shoe – in which goalscorers in European leagues are ranked based on a points system – ahead of Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo last season.

Come on dundalk! Best of luck from a CCFC supporter.
Top priority is a clean sheet, mightn’t be the most open game
While Rosenborg as the seeded side are probably favourites. Dundalk won’t fear them as they are well used to playing high calibre teams in Europe. Hopefully they can nick the win in what should be a tight game.
H’on the Town
Davie mc boy!
Aaargh, could’ve been two. Dundalk looking comfortable, these lads there for the taking. Be great to go over with a couple goals to hold on to.
Is that the nicholas bendtner who”played” for arsenal ?? If so advantage dundalk cause he’s a lazy bo**ix who’ll stroll around the pitch..
Dundalk hopefully keep going and score a second without conceding.
Knowledge of European games from last year to help
Fabulous stuff so far. Stephen Kenny has his tactics spot on again. Should be seriously considered the next time Ireland are in the market for a new man.
Good football tiny bit more but exxell
At least rubbish telly everywhere got this game.
