The infamous bust of Cristiano Ronaldo which became an online sensation has been removed from Madeira Airport.

 

The bizarre sculpture of the Portugal and Real Madrid forward was widely ridiculed when it was installed last year.

 

Pictures of the bust were shared widely on social media, with some critics suggesting it bore more of a resemblance to former Arsenal and Manchester City forward Niall Quinn or The Head from BBC television programme 'Art Attack' than Ronaldo.

 

Madeiran artist Emanuel Santos was tasked with creating the image of Ronaldo and spent three weeks on the project.

I would be surprised if Emanuel Santos has been commissioned to do any work since

this ridiculous bust but was unveiled.
