The bust of Cristiano Ronaldo at Madeira airport which gained cult popularity has been replaced. The sculpture of the Portugal and Real Madrid forward gained worldwide attention when it was installed last year at the airport, which is also known as Cristiano Ronaldo Madeira International Airport. The new statue is not to everyone’s taste though, with a petition launched online to have the heavily mocked previous version put back in place.

"This bust is much better than the other one, that's what everyone thinks," Hugo Aveiro, brother of the five-time Ballon d'or, winner, told the Diario de Noticias da Madeira newspaper. "A Spanish sculptor offered this new bust ... so good that we decided to change it," he added.
