Cristiano Ronaldo has settled in well at Juventus since his summer move from Real Madrid.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has put many teams on notice in Serie A, but it seems that not everybody is happy with him making the switch from Spain to Italy.
Apparently, the former Madrid star's name has been banned in the home of Inter Milan player Borja Valero.
That's according to Valero's wife (via the Daily Telegraph), who revealed it had become a rule in their household ahead of Juventus' match with Fiorentina.
So, why have they put their foot down on it?
Apparently, the couple's son, Alvaro, was devastated when he left Los Blancos in the summer.
"Who?" she chuckled, before adding: "That name is banned in the Valero household!
"When he left Real our son, Alvaro, banned us from saying it. He was his idol."
It's recently been revealed that Ronaldo, who auctioned one of his Ballon d'Ors off for charity, will reportedly finish second for the football award.
"I said many times, winning a sixth Ballon d'Or is not an obsession," he told France Football.
"And I do not ask the question in these terms. I already know, in my heart of hearts, that I am one of the best players in history.
"Of course I want to win, this sixth Ballon d'Or! It would be a lie to tell you the opposite.
"I work for that. As I work to score goals and win games without being an obsession. The Ballon d'Or, yes, I think I deserve it."
