Breaking News! Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo visits his own museum on Portuguese island of Madeira

The Euro 2016 and Champions League winner is set to have his achievements recognised just days after opening his new five-star hotel

Ronaldo is set to have his hometown airport named in his honour
Cristiano Ronaldo is to have an airport named after him on his native island of Madeira after Portugal's Euro 2016 success.
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.
Ronaldo was recently reported as desperate to play in the Super Cup in early August but Madrid sources say their number 7 is extremely unlikely to feature.
The forward was stretchered off in tears during Portugal's Euro 2016 final win over France, but recovered enough to prowl the touch line for the final few minutes and then lift the Henri Delaunay trophy.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo opened the doors of his new five-star hotel this week.
The Euro 2016 and Champions League winner is currently on holiday on Ibiza, recovering from a busy season on board a private yacht.
But he returned to Funchal in Madeira for the grand opening of his boutique hotel on Friday.
It is designed to appeal to “millennial traveller”, according to the chain, with the hotel aiming to become a "trendsetter" in the Portuguese harbour spot.

The stylish hotel is decorated with Ronaldo memorabilia, with signed shirts adorning some of the walls in a “contemporary art deco” style - the floors are furnished with grass-effect carpets.
There are 48 rooms, with the basic rooms priced at £180-a-night - all equipped with WIFI, mood lighting and high tech shower heads.
And the single CR7 suite -which costs £575-a-night - boasts a PlayStation4 , virtual reality glasses and games, plus cardio workout equipment.
The hotel wellness suite even offer a CR7 “Get in Shape” programme for guests hoping to replicate a Ronaldo six-pack, accompanying its exclusive outdoor gym and sauna facilities.

The hotel - just a stones thrown away from Ronaldo’s official museum - is the first of four the former Manchester United player is involved in launching.
The £70million Pestana CR7 portfolio will be completed by a luxury site in Lisbon that will open later this year, while sites in Madrid and New York are due to launch in 2017 .
