March 14 (UPI) -- Sensational strikers Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi have plenty in common on the soccer field.

During an interview with Uruguayan TV station Canal 10, the Barcelona duo both admitted another shared trait: they both urinate while sitting down. The odd revlation happened after Messi asked Suarez if he also peed while seated. Suarez and Messi agreed that it is a more comfortable process.

"Do you sit or stand when you pee," the journalist asked.

"I sit down," Suarez responded.

"Me too," Messi said.

The room immediately erupts into laughter.

"It's more comfortable," Messi added. "You get up in the morning still sleepy and..."

The duo said that they stand while urinating in the changing room because there is only a urinal available.

This season Messi has 39 goals in 39 games, while Suarez has netted 29 scores. Barcelona battles Valencia at 3:45 p.m. Sunday, March 19 in La Liga action at Camp Nou.
