It’s customary for kids to look upon their parents as role models as they grow up, aspiring to be like them professionally when they age up.
 
But for Luis Suarez's youngest child Lautaro Suarez, perhaps he has picked one of the worst habits of his father after he was noticed biting his father’s shoulder after Barcelona beat Levante 1-0 on Saturday.
 
The Catalan stars were celebrating at the Camp Nou after the win which aided them to seal their 26th La Liga title.
 
As the Uruguayan striker was carrying Lautaro around the pitch, the six-month-old baby was spotted biting Suarez’s shoulder.
 
The action sparked reactions among fans as the incident arose memories of ugly encounters by Suarez who has been involved in biting incidents earlier.
 
The Uruguayan striker was suspended for seven games in 2010 biting PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal on the shoulder when he was playing for Ajax.
