I see a lot of parallels. Suarez was the franchise player at Liverpool, but was willing to play a different role and somewhat different style in support of an all-time great in Lionel Messi. In bringing his own considerable talent and skill to the table in that effort, he was able to shine, as well.
And he was enthusiastic about it. I never remember Luis saying anything about not having a big enough role in the offense, needing to be kept engaged on the pitch, wanting the team to change things to accommodate him, etc. He was also fully involved in the MSN trio.
For any FCB-haters, one could make a similar comparison to Benzema, who played in support of Ronaldo for a long time.
