Cristiano Ronaldo statue gets its own Twitter page as dreadful bust is trolled online
CRISTIANO RONALDO has hit the headlines once again with a ridiculous statue outside the airport named in his honour, and Twitter has wasted no time at all in rinsing the woeful bust.
Cristiano Ronaldo's new statue has been absolutely shredded on Twitter
The Real Madrid star rubbed shoulders with the Portuguese president and prime minister as Madeira Airport was renamed the Cristiano Ronaldo Airport in a ceremony earlier today.
Dedicating a couple of runways to the hometown hero obviously wasn't enough, so Ronaldo was tasked with unveiling a truly horrendous statue of himself during the presentation.
Naturally, Twitter found the whole situation hilarious and wasted no time in ridiculing the bronze bust.
The sculptor has since defended his creation, claiming: "It is impossible to please the Greeks and the Trojans. Neither did Jesus please everyone."
