Asked who is the greatest striker he had played with Gerrard opted for the Uruguay international.
Steven Gerrard: "Suarez is the best - better than Owen and Torres.
"Xabi Alonso - best midfielder I've played with, I miss playing with him".
And Alonso said the same about Gerrard.
Xabi Alonso: "He could play in any national team in the world because he has so many great qualities.
"He is flexible. He can play at the English pace or he can associate with the ball very well.
"He is a very intelligent player, so he could play anywhere - not just any national team but any club in the world.
"But he has been a one-club man and that's something I really admire.
"He was a great influence to me.
"When I arrived at Liverpool I was 22 and he was the captain, he was the main man at the club.
"For me he was a reference, the way he behaved with his team-mates and with the supporters as well.
"I learned a lot from him. We are great friends and we still keep in touch.
"He is so inspirational. In the key moments he has that different thing, that spark that is difficult to define.
"He'll absolutely be remembered as one of the greats. For me he is already one of the greats."
