Cristiano Ronaldo statue gives new meaning to the word 'erected'.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a pretty huge deal in the soccer world (SORRY, FOOTBALL).

So big, in fact, that he has had a statue of himself erected in his childhood home of Madeira, Portugal.

Hmmmm….Are you sure its the statue you’re honoured about, Cristiano?
