At this rate, it's only a matter of time before Madeira changes its name to Cristiano Ronaldo.ย 

Not really, but the Portuguese superstar seems to be racking up objects that bear his name on his native island.ย 

Next up: an airport.ย 

President of the Regional Government Miguel Albuquerque announced the move to dub the island's main airport "Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo Airport," according to Mundo Deportivo (h/t Mirror).ย 

Another small reward for helping bring Portugal its first major trophy following a Euro 2016 triumph.ย 

Add it to the others.ย
