Suarez scored twice at the Etihad Stadium to put the Catalans in control of their last-16 tie but later found himself at the centre of another row when some outlets claimed he had bitten an opponent for the fourth time in his career.
Television footage showed Demichelis extending his arm in the direction of Suarez, with the striker responding by instinctively bowing his head towards the former Bayern Munich defender's hand.
A second angle showed the Uruguayan had not tried to bite the Argentine, however, andUefa confirmed toGoalthat "nothing was mentioned in the [referee's] report, and no action is being taken."
In an interview withSport 890, Suarez also insists he has no case to answer and says the English press were acting in retaliation to his two goals against Roy Hogdson's side at the World Cup: "He put his hand on my throat.
"I do not understand why they [the English media] want to do this. They want to make trouble. The smallest thing that I do they want to make gigantic and exploit it.
"They must be hurt after what I did to them in the World Cup but they forget that I played in England and they should show me some respect."
Fifa banned Suarez for four months and forced him out of the World Cup for biting Giorgio Chiellini last summer, but he says he cannot understand the reaction to the incident.
"The way I was treated when I had to leave the World Cup was the worst thing I've ever experienced. They treated me worse than a hooligan. Not allowing me to enter a stadium is something I'll never understand."
