Barcelona fans will be filled with anticipation with Brazilian starlet Vitor Roque arriving at the club this Wednesday. However, while the player has yet to leave his mark on the field, his past actions on social media might not sit down well with the Catalan ultras. Despite Barcelona stars religiously picking Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo when it comes to the G.O.A.T debate, Roque might have some distinct ideas.
Fans will expect Vitor Roque to start strongly for Barcelona following the short mid-season break. The Catalan side are currently seven points behind arch-rival Real Madrid in the title race and will have to put on their best performance during the second half of the season to have a chance at retaining their title.

In one of his old tweets on X, Roque was seen praising Cristiano Ronaldo. In one of his posts from 2021, Roque claimed Cristiano is the greatest of all time, stating, “Please don’t compare Cristiano Ronaldo with anyone.”
The player applauded Cristiano earlier this year after the Al Nassr star passed the five-hundred-goal tally in his club career. While the mention wasn’t something irregular, it was the emotes that followed the message, “Congratulations @Cristiano🐐😍.”

While his social media activity might show his bias towards Cristiano, Barcelona will hope that the player, despite his love for the ex-rival star, can help them put on a revitalized challenge for the La Liga title.

Vitor Roque has arrived in Barcelona with a lot of fanfare. The Spanish giant splurged $45 million to secure the player’s services from Brasileiro Serie A club Atlético Paranaense. While multiple sides across Europe were interested in the Brazilian, it was Barcelona who came out on top, securing a move for the eighteen-year-old.
However, this season could be sink or swim for the Brazilian wonder kid. Despite their talented squad, Barcelona has failed to pose any threat to Real Madrid’s title challenge this season. Veteran striker Robert Lewandowski has looked like a toothless tiger which has been a significant issue for the club.
It will be absorbing to see if Vitor Roque can live up to the wonder kid billing and establish himself as a top name for the Blaugrana. Do you think the eighteen-year-old has what it takes to succeed at Barcelona? Let us know in the comments below.
