The Real Madrid star already has a bronze statue, a museum and a hotel bearing his name in the island's capital city of Funchal, but will soon see the main airport rechristened the Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo airport. Local governor Miguel Albuquerque confirmed the decision, according to  Mundo Deportivo,  with the 31-year-old superstar currently back on the island after holidaying in Ibiza.
