Ronaldo scored a sublime bicycle kick against Juventus to gain praise from every corner of the globe. However, not to be outdone, Barcelona are 'hungry' for their talisman to steal the show at the Camp Nou on Wednesday in their first leg against Roma.
After his heroics against Sevilla at the weekend, coming off the bench at the death to overturn a two-goal deficit, Messi is the likely candidate capable of replicating such an imperious performance.
Catalan newspaper 'El Mundo Deportivo' highlighted his potential importance in steering Ernesto Valverde's team to the semi-finals with the following headline on Wednesday's edition: "Yesterday CR7, today Messi."
In a similar theme, 'Sport' went with: "Hunger of Champions," while 'La Vanguardia' left no doubt with theirs: "Barcelona, to recover the order to win at Rome".
The final media outlet, 'L'Esportiu', underlined the relationship between Ronaldo and Messi as "connected".
