Ronaldo opens museum about him

10:29 am on 16 December 2013

The Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has opened a museum in his honour, which he says has extra room to be filled by future trophies.

The museum in his native Madeira in Portugal exhibits more than 125 awards.

Ronaldo won the prestigious 2008 Ballon d'Or title, formerly known as the Fifa World Player of the year title, while with Manchester United.

He's on a three-man shortlist with Lionel Messi and Franck Ribery.

The first piece on display dates back to when Ronaldo was eight and top-scored in a tournament with his boyhood club Andorinha.

It also contains mementos from his senior playing career, including two Golden Boot awards won for being European football's top scorer.
