‘It’s even prettier than me’ – Cristiano Ronaldo pleased with statue of himself

Larger-than-life bronze statue mocked online

Who says he's vain? Cristiano Ronaldo was happy to take second billing as he unveiled a giant statue - of himself - on his home island of Madeira in Portugal.

Ronaldo calls the larger-than-life bronze statue “prettier than me,” according to Spanish news agency Europa Press.

But the statue immediately drew gags on social media for its rather prominent bulge in the shorts area.

The 29-year-old Real Madrid forward helped the Spanish team win the Club World Cup in Morocco on Saturday.

Ronaldo already has a museum dedicated to his career on Madeira.

He says “I never expected to have a statue in my life.”
