Champions League Final: Sculptor Emanuel Santos creates Gareth Bale's bronze bust in Cardiff
In the context of the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Juventus, which will take place in the city of Cardiff, sculptor Emanuel Santos decided to create a bust of Gareth Bale, a football player born in Cardiff.
This bronze work of art was commissioned by a betting company. The bust was temporarily exhibited at the National Stadium of Wales. However, it has received a series of criticisms for its roughness.
It is worth noting that the artist is the same one who presented the sculpture of Cristiano Ronaldo at the airport in Madeira. On that occasion, thousands of reactions appeared on social media mocking the statue, which bears no resemblance to the Portuguese star of Real Madrid.
At the moment, Gareth Bale's bust is located on a central street in Cardiff for citizens and tourists to take several photographs and experience the prelude to the final stage of the Champions League.
