Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to his hometown of Funchal on the island of Madeira for the unveiling of a statue of himself. "This is a very special moment, to have a statue of me," the 29-year-old Real Madrid star said.
The statue is part of Ronaldo's personal museum, housing mementos and awards from his career including his two Ballon D'Or titles, awarded to him as the world's best player in 2008 and 2013.
"Ronaldo has never forgotten his origins," added his mother, Dolores Aveiro.
