An identical case will now be commissioned to house the forward's second Ballon d'Or, Goal has learned, with Ronaldo keen for fans in Madeira to see his latest award.
The CR7 Museum is home to 126 of the player's personal silverware from his time at Sporting, Manchester United and Real Madrid, as well as his formative years.
