Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has had a giant statue erected in his honour.
The
Portuguese international travelled 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
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 sees him in his infamous
free-kick pose, and large crowds 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.Congrats to him.
