There are around 40 football-themed ice sculptures in Moscow, with Ronaldo's statue being the latest. They are on display at Pobedy Park, where the ice sculpture festival is taking place.
The statue depicts Ronaldo walking in the Portuguese national team uniform. The front of the shirt has the number 7, Ronaldo's name and the logo of the team he is playing for.
Ronaldo has been sculpted in bronze several times. A full-length statue of him in his hometown of Madeira was defaced by a group of strangers who wrote sarcastic messages about losing the Ballon d'Or to Messi in early 2016.
Another statue of Ronaldo is located at Madeira airport, created by sculptor Emanuel Santos. The statue once caused a stir because it not only did not resemble Ronaldo but also made people laugh.
At the end of November 2017, Real carved another statue of Ronaldo, placed in the team's trophy room. This statue is more realistic and serious than the one placed in Madeira.
