Barcelona striker Neymar on Saturday said it would be good if Cristiano Ronaldo played for Barcelona.
Ronaldo recently suggested that he could leave Real Madrid when his current contract expires in 2018.
The Portuguese international has been linked with a move to Major League Soccer (MLS) and French heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain.
"I'm a fan of Cristiano; he's a legend, one of a kind. It would be very good if he played for Barcelona," Neymar was quoted as saying by goal.com.
Neymar has by his side the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez but he says the credit for the club's success should not always be heaped on the trio.
"I think the team is not only this trident, we can be considered one of the best in history," he said.
"I love playing with my teammates and I feel very proud to be part of this team."
"It's difficult (to defend the Champions League), there are great teams, as good as Barcelona. I can only guarantee that we won't lack the determination to try," he added.
