ccording to the Mirror UK, the Real Madrid star already has a bronze statue, a museum and a hotel bearing his name in the island’s capital city of Funchal. He is now set to be honoured again as the Island’s main airport will be rechristened the ‘Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo airport’.
Local governor Miguel Albuquerque confirmed the decision, according to Mundo Deportivo, with the 31-year-old superstar currently back on the island after holidaying in Ibiza. Ronaldo was recently reported as desperate to play in the Super Cup in early August but Madrid sources say their number 7 is extremely unlikely to feature. Recall that Ronaldo launched his new five-star hotel this week. The Euro 2016 and Champions League winner is currently on holiday on the island of Ibiza on board a private yacht. But he returned to Funchal in Madeira for the grand opening of his boutique hotel on Friday.
