However, it's been a complete nightmare so far with Suarez's Atletico Madrid very much on the ropes in the Champions League tie at Anfield.
They're two goals behind thanks to goals from Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane and are also a man light after defender Felipe was sent off after pulling Mane down on the halfway line.
Felipe's red card also led to Suarez being cautioned by referee Danny Makkelie.
Jordan Henderson's request for the Reds legend to be given a good reception by the Anfield faithful were met on deaf ears as Suarez was given an earful before the match started.
As his name was read out on the Anfield PA system when the players warmed up, the Uruguayan's name was booed.
Boos also swirled around the ground when Suarez was about to kick the match off.
It's not clear whether Felipe's red card was solely due to the fairly innocuous challenge on Mane, a decision that will no doubt leave Atleti boss Diego Simeone fuming.
But take nothing away from Liverpool, who have been far superior side and are deservedly winning the match.
They took the lead when a trademark Trent Alexander-Arnold cross from the right left the Atletico Madrid defenders static and Jota nodded in from close range.
The Liverpool right-back was provider for Mane's goal as his drive fell to the Senegal forward's left peg and shooting first-time, fired it past Jan Oblak.
It may be damage limitation as far as the LaLiga side are concerned but any side with Suarez in their ranks cannot ever be written off.
