Cristiano Ronaldo’s swagger knows no bounds, or more accurately, it’s outgrown its bounds. The museum Ronaldo built to himself is moving because its walls simply aren’t big enough to house his accomplishments anymore.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The museum currently sits on prime seafront property on the Portuguese island of Madeira, where Ronaldo was born. It houses two life-size wax statues of the star, his host of trophies and medals. After Real Madrid won the UEFA Champions League, it was in dire need of an upgrade.
The museum’s new two-story site “will be able to welcome Ronaldo’s future trophies,” his cousin and museum director Nuno Viveiros said.
Just how much room is needed? Well, according to Viveiros it might be a lot more.
“After the Euro Ronaldo will be starting a new season with Real,” when he can win more trophies, Viveiros predicted.
You might think this is the height of hubris (and it kind of is) but keep in mind that Ronaldo has won over 140 different trophies. The museum sees a lot of visitors, too, so who are we to judge?
