A 30 ft. statue was unveiled yesterday in a quiet corner of Madrid, depicting a stoic Cristiano Ronaldo in his national uniform. Red and green confetti floated in the streets as Portuguese fans applauded the already deified superstar.
you have to wonder, though. Is this for real? Apparenty Nike sponsored the statue, which would explain why he is not wearing the Adidas-sponsored Real Madrid uniform. If it is real (and the city decides to keep the statue in its place) it will be among the greatest jabs Nike has ever taken at Adidas. Thoughts?
