The sculptor behind a statue of Cristiano Ronaldo that left football fans scratching their heads has said his work is just "a matter of taste".

Emanuel Santos said the bust, unveiled on the Portuguese island of Madeira, was "not as simple as it seems" to create.

The unveiling of the Ronaldo statue led many on social media to question the work's resemblance to the player. It was revealed at a ceremony to name the island's airport after him.
