I visited a museum dedicated to Cristiano Ronaldo, and was shocked by the sheer volume of trophies and awards he has won

  • I cover Cristiano Ronaldo's career for a living, and recently took a trip to his home island, Madeira.
  • While there I visited Ronaldo's museum, dedicated to his myriad achievements in soccer.

There are many things that are impressive about Cristiano Ronaldo.

His unparalleled career goal tally; his unmatchable sense of timing on the big occasion; and his unquestionable desire to remain in peak physical condition are among them.

Also impressive is the Manchester United forward's vast trophy collection. In 20 years as a professional soccer player, Ronaldo has scooped no less than 32 team trophies and almost countless individual prizes.

All of them, as well as various other interesting trinkets from his career, are on display at his very own museum, which lays on the harbor side of Funchal, Madeira — the town in which he was born and raised.

In early November I visited the museum — and stayed at the attached Cristiano Ronaldo-themed hotel — and was completely taken aback by just how much the Portuguese superstar has won.
