Sculpture said to resemble Ronaldo creates buzz at WC host city museum
(25 Jun 2018) As Saransk excitedly prepares to welcome Cristiano Ronaldo to play in a World Cup match, there has been much buzz around a sculpture in the small host city's S.D. Erzia Museum said to resemble the Portuguese talisman.
The sculpture in question is 'Citizen of Distant Planet of Jupiter', created in 1962 by Russian sculptor Beatrice Sandomirskaya.
According to World Cup organisers' media arm, the sculpture of an alien first gained international fame when a group of Portuguese journalists suggested it looked like Ronaldo.
The S.D. Erzia Mordovian Republican Museum of Fine Arts is happy at the number of visitors the sculpture is drawing, even if opinion is polarised over whether it actually looks like Ronaldo.
And appreciation for Ronaldo has spread from the museum to the streets in Saransk.
Artist Yulia Antipova created a big mural of Portugal's star man ahead of his visit, and people can be seen snapping photos at it.
She says she likes the idea that Ronaldo could see her work when he arrives in town for Portugal's final match of the World Cup group stages.
They will take on Iran.
Iran needs to win the game in order to progress to the knockout stages of the tournament, whereas for Portugal a draw would be enough.
