And speaking immediately after the match against the Brazilian giants, the Portuguese international suggested the Catalan club pay their respects to Los Blancos.
Ronaldo said: “It would be nice and I would like Barcelona to make for us the guard of honour.”
But his proposal was immediately knocked back by both Barca director Guillermo Amor, as well as boss Ernesto Valverde.
Amor responded by saying: “We make it clear that we only do this when we participate in the competition.
