Earlier today, Cristiano Ronaldo had the Madeira Airport in his hometown named after him but a statue of the Portuguese unveiled in the ceremony has been stealing the headlines. The bust which sadly looked nothing like him has been tagged a horrendous piece of art on the internet. See our best reactions from the topic.
What we know is that chill has departed from the land of the living!

I feel bad for Cristiano Ronaldo. The fact that some metal men actually thought that he looked like that… https://t.co/oTnmG1ac7p

It's a real privilege knowing that the artist behind the Ronaldo statue took inspiration from my own self sculpture that I made in year 7. pic.twitter.com/NM3nN0GQaX

The lucky thing about Ronaldo and his new bust is that he isn't the type of person to care too much about superficiality and image.

Looks more like Ronaldo at 50 when he's piled on the pounds and stopped training https://t.co/C1TiSHt8w9

Say what you want about Ronaldo's sculptor – somehow he's managed to make an international sex symbol look like @cpray86. Hats off to him. pic.twitter.com/mFC9gI7M6I

Cristiano Ronaldo presented with embarrassingly bad head statue. The worst we've ever seen! 😂 https://t.co/AIXcWG3SX9 pic.twitter.com/8KY2dh24pN
