OTD in 2017, a sculpture of CR7 unveiled as Funchal Airport renamed after him

Cristiano Ronaldo captained the Portugal national side to their first ever European Championship in the summer of 2016 and would be commemorated with his very own statue to mark the renaming of Funchal Airport in his honour.

“This is a matter of taste, so it is not as simple as it seems. What matters is the impact that this work generated. There is always the possibility of making a difference, I was prepared for all this. I used as a base some photos of Cristiano Ronaldo that I found on the internet, nothing specific. I put the photos next to me and started working on the bust”, says the designer Emanuel Santos.
