Cristiano Ronaldo's bronze statue stands outside his
"CR7 Museum"
in his hometown of Funchal on the Portuguese island of
Madeira.

(CNN) -- Already boasting a treasure trove of trophies and mementos,
the latest addition to Cristiano Ronaldo's own personal museum is a 10-foot
bronze statue of the man himself.
The "CR7 Museum" -- opened
in December 2013 in the Real Madrid attacker's hometown of Funchal, on the
Portuguese island of Madeira -- houses more than 125 awards, including the two
Ballon
d'Or titles he won in 2008 and 2013 after being voted the world's best player.
And now
standing outside to greet those fans who make the pilgrimage to pay homage to
one of football's greats is a mammoth sculpture of the Portugal captain in all
his glory.
Ronaldo, fresh from helping Madrid
lift FIFA's Club World Cup in Morocco on Saturday, was in Funchal just 24 hours
later to unite with his family for the statue's official unveiling.
"I feel so proud to be honored
with a statue in Madeira," Ronaldo wrote on his official Twitter account.
