Too much money: Cristiano Ronaldo builds a museum for his trophies and awards in Portugal

Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is unarguably one of the most decorated players in the world having won 29 major titles for club and country.

The 35-year-old is equally the most successful player in the history of Champions League with a total of five trophies to his name.

He won four during his nine-year reign at Real Madrid while winning his first while at Manchester United in 2008.

The Portuguese star has now floated a museum which is located at Praça do Mar, Funchal, the capital of Madeira and where Ronaldo was born.

In a short video clip on Instagram, the gallery houses all the silverware, and memorabilia the winger has ever received, including shirts from opponents and teammates, boots so far in his career.

Reports claim that the building was originally built in 2013 after Ronaldo's brother Hugo visited him in Madrid and realised his collection of awards and titles were scattered in different places.

This prompted them to erect a building on 1,400sq m land before Ronaldo helped Portugal win Euro 2016 championship.

Built at the entrance of the museum is a giant bronze statue with an inscription in Portuguese on a plaque saying: "Melhor Jogador Do Mundo" - which means "Best Player In The World". Ronaldo has majorly been rivalled in the last one and a half decades by Barcelona's Lionel Messi with whom they share 11 Ballon d'Or between themselves.

The 35-year-old has won UEFA Best Player twice and has lifted the European Golden boot four times.

He has also won three English Premier League titles, two Spanish Leagues, four FIFA Club World Cup, and a host of others. He is the all-time highest goals scorer in the UCL with 129 goals.
