Tensions flared in Florida after Inter’s Californian rivals secured a 1-0 win in the first leg.
However, Lionel Messi and his teammates turned the tables with a solid 3-1 victory at home, clinching a 3-2 aggregate win.
As the match drew to a close, tempers flared with players from both sides clashing following a rough tackle.
A massive brawl erupted at the center of the field, with Suarez right in the middle of it.
The former Liverpool and Barcelona star was yanked back by the collar of his shirt.
Angry, he spun around, apparently reaching to bite the errant arm.
Yet, he quickly paused upon realizing the arm belonged to his Inter Miami teammate Jordi Alba.
Reactions flooded in online, with one user humorously commenting: “Friendly fire.”

Another commenter noted: “He should seek assistance for this habit.”
This comment refers to Suarez’s infamous history of biting several opponents.
He notoriously bit Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay’s World Cup match against Italy in 2014.
A year prior, he bit Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic while playing for Liverpool.
These incidents resulted in a 10-match suspension from the FA for the Ivanovic bite, while the bite on Chiellini led to a nine-match international ban that lasted 21 months.
