Jordan Henderson, Liverpool captain, said that Luis Suárez deserves an ovation at Anfield after the match between Liverpool and Atlético Madrid on Wednesday, November 3. The Uruguayan, who shined at the English club before moving to Barcelona, will return to his former home in the fourth matchday of the Champions League group stage, and the 'red' midfielder, who shared the dressing room with him, praised his figure.
"We all know that he is a great footballer and that he had very good moments here. I learned a lot from him because we got along well. We have to be attentive, not only to him, but he is a great forward," Henderson said in a press conference.

Regarding the match, Henderson said that against Atlético "all the matches are difficult" and that they are a team that defends "very well and uses counterattacks masterfully."
"It would be a great achievement to qualify with two matches to spare because it's a very tough group with great opponents," emphasized Jordan.
