Ronaldo statue erected at CR7 museum
BY Tom Anstey
Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has unveiled a statue of himself at his self-dedicated museum on his home island of Madeira in Portugal.
Ronaldo’s personal museum – CR7 – which opened in December 2013, houses mementoes and awards from the footballing mega star’s career, including his two Ballon D’Ors, recognising him as the world’s best player in 2008 and 2013 respectively.
The former Manchester United player – who has so far scored 34 goals in 27 games for both club and country this season – called the unveiling of the 10ft (3m) statue, depicting Ronaldo splay-legged and ready to attempt one of his trademark long free-kicks, a “very special moment”.
