Portugal star striker Cristiano Ronaldo had another statue made in his honour -- this time -- from ice.

According to British tabloid, The Sun, 40 statues have been put up in Russia to represent the countries that will be featuring in this year's FIFA World Cup. The statue is on display at the Ledovaya Moskva festival. Ronaldo's latest sculpture sadly shares striking similarities to the disastrous bust (above right) that was put up in his honour at Madeira airport last year. The unveiling of the statue in Portugal had sent fans into a frenzy.
