Ronaldo was surprised and happy with the work done after his measurements were originally taken at the end of May: "It's a great pleasure to have this, it almost looks the same as me", he said after posing for photographs with the model.

The Real Madrid star appeared this morning at the Madrid Wax Museum to meet the new waxwork model made in his honour. Ronaldo was surprised and happy with the work done after his measurements were originally taken at the end of May: "It's a great pleasure to have this, it almost looks the same as me", he said after posing for photographs with the model.

At the end of May two sculptors began the work of immortalising the player in wax after taking almost an hour to compile the measurements of his body. Today's event took place outside the Madrid museum and in front of a number of onlookers who wanted to see both the wax version of the player and the real thing. The model depicts the Real Madrid star bolt upright with his two legs apart and staring directly ahead in the strip of the Portugal national team.
