Ronaldo unveils own sculpture
Print Edition
WORLD player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo returned to his home town of Funchal on Madeira yesterday to attend the unveiling of a statue sculpted in his honor.
The Real Madrid star travelled to the Portuguese island from Marrakech where on Saturday he helped his club lift the Club World Cup, its fourth trophy of 2014.
“This is a very special moment, to have a statue of me,” said an emotional Ronaldo at the ceremony where he was joined by members of his family and thousands of fans.
The 3.4-meter statue forms part of Ronaldo’s personal museum on the island housing his haul of trophies including his two Ballon d’Or titles, with a third one possibly on its way as he is favorite to win the FIFA award again.
Ronaldo is on the shortlist after scoring a record 17 goals in a Champions League campaign as Real went on to win its 10th European Cup last term.
