As Juventus are at risk of missing out on the Champions League qualification, some Barcelona fans suggest that the Catalans should consider signing Lionel Messi's iconic rival Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.
"If Juventus do not qualify for UCL it's most likely Ronaldo would leave the club and on the other hand we are looking for a finisher and he is one of the best in the world when it comes to this, headers, goals from inside the box and even penalties," Reddit user @theguywithnofcks2giv wrote.
"Moreover, him going to Paris or Manchester will only make the UCL more difficult for us."
With two games to go this season, the Bianconeri are one point adrift of fourth-placed Napoli. Therefore, Ronaldo would arguably want to quit Juve if they continue in the Europa League next term.
Is there any chance of the Portuguese joining the Blaugrana? We wouldn't say so but what are your thoughts on the matter? Let us know in the comments!
Neymar: 'I want to play with Cristiano Ronaldo'
"I want to play with Cristiano Ronaldo," Neymar has said in an interview with GQ France.
"I've already played with great players like Messi and Mbappe, but I haven't played with Cristiano Ronaldo yet."
Funnily enough, the Brazilian claimed that what he wants 'the most is to play with Messi again' in December.
Neymar has extended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2025 since then, so his reunion with Messi at Barcelona is all but impossible anytime soon.
Cristiano, for his part, could be on his way to the Parc des Princes already this summer as Juventus could realistically miss out on the Champions League qualification this term.
"I want to win the World Cup," Neymar added on his remaining career goals. "This has always been my biggest dream, but I also want to win everything with PSG.
"I'm almost 30 now and I've had a good career on a personal level."
Puyol pays Cristiano a huge compliment… before reminding the world Leo Messi is better
In an interview back in 2017, Barcelona legendary captain Carles Puyol was asked to pick the better between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Although the ex-defender started off by paying a compliment to the Portuguese, he briefly reminded everyone that Messi was better.
"Ronaldo is one of the best players in the history of the game but Messi is better.
"The competitiveness and rivalry between them is very intense and I think that has helped to improve them both because neither man relaxes.
"For me, Messi is the best. I have played with him and he has given me so much happiness. He is always improving and has been consistent for 10 years.
"I actually think that he gets better with every season and that is because of the passion he has. I hope that he wins something with his country. That would mean that aside from winning with his club, he will have won everything with everyone."
The Messi/Ronaldo debate remains one of the most ardent ones in modern football even with the two superstars arguably past their peaks. Even with them playing in different leagues, the fans continue to compare them.
