Your support makes all the difference.Edinson Cavani's rather shocking incident with Gonzalo Jara at this year's Copa America has been immortalised in the form of a doorbell.
Cavani was subject to the Chile defender “inserting his finger into his anus” during Uruguay’s quarter-final defeat to the tournament hosts, which caused the Paris Saint-Germain striker to react by slapping Jara in the face and getting sent-off.
The shocking incident also saw Jara banned for the rest of the tournament, with video footage catching the former West Brom right-back in the act in an attempt to provoke Cavani. Despite Jara’s suspension, Chile went on to win the Copa America courtesy of the penalty shootout victory over Argentina.
Watch the video of the incident below...
Having already experienced the traumatising experience of having an opponent tamper with his delicate area during a match, Cavani must now face the prospect of the incident being painted on one joker’s doorbell, and you don’t need much of an imagination to figure out where you press to ring the bell.
The doorbell artist is unknown to the outside world, with Twitter user @ReaccionFut spotting the hilarious-yet-haunting image while walking by.
