Ronaldo statue burned in Portugal

A person set fire to a statue of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, on his home island of Madeira, in a strange incident that caused a widespread uproar on social media.
The man posted footage of his controversial act on the Internet, while the police continued their search for him.
The video showed a young man filming himself pouring a flammable substance on the bronze copy of Ronaldo, before lighting it with a lighter.
As the fire ignited and approached the young man himself before he moved away from it, he continued to perform a dance to the tune of loud rap music that came from a loudspeaker he had brought with him.
The young man posted the strange clip, which was filmed on Tuesday morning near the CR7 Museum in Madeira’s capital, Funchal, a museum built to commemorate Ronaldo’s career, on his Instagram account, which is followed by about a thousand people.
He describes himself as “a person, a freestyler, and a son of the region.”
It was not immediately clear whether the statue, which was moved from another location on the island in March 2016 after it was vandalized by fans of Argentine star Lionel Messi, had sustained any permanent damage.
