On February 5, a significant event took place in the world of football. A statue was unveiled in honor of Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo in the heart of New York City's Times Square. This artwork not only celebrates his on-field achievements but also symbolizes the global icon that has inspired millions.
The 12-foot (approximately 3.6 meters) tall bronze statue is painted in green, red, and gold, reflecting the colors of Ronaldo's native Portugal. The sculptor revealed that the famous goal celebration move of the footballer served as the inspiration for the statue. According to the sculptor: "Cristiano Ronaldo is not just a football player; he is a symbol of determination, excellence, and global unity."
The statue also served as a unique gift to Ronaldo himself, as it coincides with his 40th birthday. Recognized as one of the greatest footballers of all time, Ronaldo has won five Ballon d'Or awards and cemented his name in world football history.
Currently playing for Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr club, Ronaldo has had an outstanding season, with 25 matches played, 23 goals scored, and 4 assists. His contract with the club is valid until the summer of 2025, and many believe he still has much to offer to the world of football.
