Not long ago, Cristiano Ronaldo was honored with a bronze bust at the airport in his home town of Madeira. Although this was an honorable moment, the piece of art commemorating the Portuguese ace wasn’t flattering.
The bust of the four-time Ballon d’Or winner isn’t one to forget, as it became the punch line of Internet trolls and jokes due to its depiction of the Real Madrid ace. Now, the sculptor has made a similar one of team-mate Gareth Bale.
The artist, Emanuel Santos, teamed up with bookmaker Paddy Power to whip up a bust of the Welsh ace. This bust is on display in Cardiff, where Los Blancos will take on Juventus in the Champions League final.
In the bookstore's shop on St Mary Street, the bust has both the name of its creator and the words “Yes, him again!” etched into it.
Although the Bale statue is miles better than Cristiano’s, Gareth’s one also leaves a lot to be desired. Check it out in the picture below.
Remember the Ronaldo statue? We've got the same artist to create one of Gareth Bale. And we're not sure it's much better. pic.twitter.com/gIyjWQnlAK

The Welshman, meanwhile, is concentrated on Saturday’s Champions League final. Although he has been declared fit to play, whether he should replace the in-form Isco remains a huge debate.
