After surpassing his fellow colleagues and competitors on the pitch, Cristiano Ronaldo has added one more feather to his cap, further solidifying his legacy, as the former Manchester United star visited his very own "CR7 Museum" in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The legendary forward, who currently represents Kindgom's Al Nassr club, took to social media to share glimpses of him visiting the astonishing facility in the Saudi capital.

From Ronaldo's first steps on the pitch to his historic achievements, the newly inaugurated museum features memorabilia documenting every aspect of his career in the form of match-worn jerseys, shoes, awards, etc, reported marca.com.

"This is My Story. From Madeira to Saudi Arabia my CR7 Signature Museum is now open in Riyadh," the caption on the museum's Instagram account read in a post co-authored by the footballer himself.

Interactive exhibits in the museum bring to life some of Ronaldo's most memorable games and victories, giving visitors a rare chance to see the many trophies and medals that the soccer legend has amassed—including his five coveted Ballon d'Or awards.

Apart from Riyadh's one-of-a-kind facility, Ronaldo has also been "immortalised" in wax figures all over the world.

One such wax figure is located at Madame Tussauds. Also, a wax replica of Ronaldo was unveiled in Times Square, New York before the 2022 World Cup.
