Museu CR7

På strandfronten av Funchal, beside the bronze statue of the celebrating footballer, the Museu CR7 tells the career of Cristiano Ronaldo — the boy from Madeira who became one of the greatest players in the history of the game, and the island’s most famous son.

En karriär i ett rum

The museum opened in December 2013, first on a hillside street and later in its present home on the seafront by the marina. Its hundred-plus trophies follow the whole career — the early years at Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and the honours of the Portuguese national team — with the Ballons d’Or and the European Championship silverware at the centre of the display.

Statyn och viken

Outside, the bronze statue of Ronaldo in his famous goal celebration has become a landmark of the renewed waterfront, a few minutes’ walk from the old town, the market quarter and the cable car that climbs towards Monte. För fotbollsfans är besökaret en vallfart; för alla andra är det ett kompakt, ljust museum om den mest framgångsrika karriären Madeira någonsin skickade till

Det här får du se

• Troféerna av hela karriären
• The Ballons d’Or and European Championship honours
• Bronsstatyn bredvid museet
• Strandpromenaden och marinan i Funchal
