Ronaldo to open museum dedicated to himself soon
6 Dec 2013 4:18 AM IST
The 28-year-old Real Madrid player will use the museum to showcase memorabilia from his hugely successful career, which began in the 1990s in Madeira.
Ronaldo said he would be there in person on 15 December for the opening of the museum in Madeira’s capital Funchal, which will showcase memorabilia including footballs, photographs and trophies. He was speaking in Madeira, where he had travelled with his mother and young son, Ronaldo to finalise plans for the opening. One of the world’s footballing greats, Ronaldo began his career with the small tourist island’s local club FC Andorinha, where his father worked.
He moved to Lisbon aged 12 and was picked up by Sporting Portugal, launching his international career when he signed with Man U at the age of just 18.
Asked by local media about his chances of picking up the Ballon D’Or he is tipped to win, he only said a space has been reserved in case of success. He won the Ballon D’Or in 2008 but has since lost out three times to his arch-rival Lionel Messi.
