In the sketch, McKinnon—who is famous for impressions of celebrities on SNL, including former Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and pop star Justin Bieberlikens the bust to Ronaldo having his face put "through a Snapchat filter where all the features are twisted and sucked into the nose."

The bust was created by Madeiran artist Emanuel Santos, who said Ronaldo "liked what he saw" of the statue, per Globo.com (h/t Sky Sports' Elgan Alderman).
