Bizarre Cristiano Ronaldo bust unveiled as Portugal star has airport named after him

The Portugal captain's "likeness" has been compared to a 1950s psychopath and a melted David Coulthard by fans on social media

Cristiano Ronaldo's face is known the world over, but it seems that it's not that straightforward to replicate in sculpture form.

The Real Madrid star's return to the Spanish capital following international duty was delayed on Wednesday as he attended a ceremony in honour of, naturally, himself.

Ronaldo's hometown airport in Madeira is being renamed after the Portugal captain, and as part of the ceremony a bust of the forward was unveiled.

Unfortunately, its resemblance to Ronaldo is not as close as many would have liked.
