Barcelona attacker Alexis Sanchez has voiced his admiration for Ronaldo and dreams of emulating the former Brazil star at Camp Nou.
The 37-year-old enjoyed a successful one-season spell at Barcelona in 1996-97 as he netted 34 goals in 37 La Liga appearances, while also winning the Copa del Rey, Supercopa de Espana and Cup Winners' Cup with the Catalans.
And Alexis is keen to follow in the footsteps of his idol.
"They told me the numbers that were available at Barca when I came here. As I am a great admirer of the Brazilian Ronaldo, I wanted to wear the same number," Alexis was quoted as saying on the official Barcelona website.
