Massive Statue Erected In Honor Of Cristiano Ronaldo – Photos

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has had a giant statue erected in his honor.
The Portuguese international traveled home to the Portuguese island
of Madeira, where he posed in front of the sculpture with his family.
And it is hard to argue with the sentiment, as Ronaldo is easily the
island’s biggest export.
There is already a ‘CR7′ museum in Funchal, the city in which he was
born. The statue is modeled on the Ballon D`or winner`s infamous free
kick pose. It was no surprise to see Ronaldo make the effort to travel
home, where he was pictured hanging out next to the statue with friends
and family.
The life-size replica of the Madrid maestro attracted a large crowd who gathered to see the unveiling on Sunday.
The former Manchester United man was at the presentation fresh from
Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over San Lorenzo in the FIFA Club World Cup Final
on Saturday.

There are, and will always be, arguments over whether Ronaldo is the
best player in the world. He faces stiff competition from Lionel Messi,
of course.
In Madeira though, one man is head and shoulders above the rest and that is certainty Ronaldo. Sorry, Messi
