Ronaldo statue erected in his hometown

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to his
hometown of Funchal on the island of Madeira for
the unveiling of a 3.4m statue of himself.
"This is a very special moment, to have a statue of
me," the 29-year-old 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.
The former Manchester United attacker, who lifted
the Club World Cup with his current club on
Saturday, is favourite to win the 2014 accolade in
January.
He has scored 34 goals in 27 games for club and
country this season.
"Ronaldo has never forgotten his origins," added his
mother, Dolores Aveiro.
