A car park with a spectacular view of Funchal bay now stands on the site of the house where Cristiano Ronaldo grew up and became a football genius. The superstar's name now brings tourists to the island of Madeira and the main town will again fall silent each time Ronaldo plays for Portugal at Euro 2016. There is a three metre (11 feet) high statue in Funchal, the CR7 museum has wax effigies of the footballer alongside some of his trophies and Ronaldo's face stares out from holiday guides.
