What happened to Cristiano Ronaldo’s statue?

In 2017, a bronze bust of Ronaldo was created by sculptor Emanuel Santos, and unveiled at Madeira’s airport in a ceremony to rename it Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport. However, the statue was quite terrible and looked nothing like the superstar player, and it was mocked and ridiculed worldwide.

Fifteen months after it was shown to the world, Ronaldo’s museum asked it to be removed, and it was replaced with a much better version from an anonymous sculptor. The original is stored at the airport, hidden from the world.

What is Cristiano Ronaldo’s diet?

A large part of Ronaldo’s continued success is that he views his body as a temple. Ronaldo does not drink any alcohol, aside from an occasional glass of wine, in large part because his father died of an alcohol-induced liver condition when Ronaldo was 20. He also has no tattoos, as he donates both blood and bone marrow on a regular basis.

Ronaldo has a personal dietician, who helps him plan out his six daily small meals. His diet consists of lots of protein and whole-grain carbohydrates, along with fruits and vegetables. He also avoids nearly all sugary foods and takes up to five 90-minute sleep sessions in a single day, between his meals. And as we found out at Euro 2020, he’s all about drinking water.

What is Cristiano Ronaldo’s workout regimen?

Ronaldo does copious amounts of work to maintain a body that men envy and women adore. Aside from his training with Juventus and the Portuguese national team, he trains five days a week, for three to four hours a day, in the gym, alternating different muscle groups on different days.

His specific workouts can be found in numerous places online, including Men’s Health. Ronaldo is also a huge proponent of mental health, stating that it is “just as important as physical strength” and needs to be trained, as well.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo better than Lionel Messi?

We could write an entire series of articles debating the greatness of Ronaldo and Messi, but the answer all lies in what you value for greatness.

While my personal belief is that Ronaldo is better than Messi, we should appreciate them both and be thankful we get to see them playing together in the same era.

Regardless of which player you deem greater, there is no question Messi has driven Ronaldo to be his absolute best. Just as Tom Brady and Peyton Manning’s epic duels fueled their desire to one-up each other, Messi and Ronaldo have done the same for the soccer world.
