A graffiti painting of famous footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has appeared on a house wall near the hotel where Portugal’s national team is staying in Russia’s city of Kazan.

Axar.az reports citing TASS.

"The guys were painting and I helped them when they were working at height," industrial climber Dmitry Chalov said. "It took them five days to create the graffiti. I believe they made it so that Ronaldo could see the painting when he looks out of his hotel window," he added.

The painting’s size is about 300 square meters, it is the height of a three-storey building. Painters used 20 colors of facade paint to create the graffiti.
