Cristiano Ronaldo has been fined by UEFA for his goal celebration in Juventus’ Champions League defeat of Atletico Madrid earlier this month.
Ronaldo, the forward, must pay £17,700 (€20,000) after being found guilty of improper conduct in relation to the celebration he performed when completing his hat-trick against Atleti.

The Portugual superstar scored thrice to knock the Spanish club out the Champions League, and he mimicked Atleti boss Diego Simeone’s celebration from the first leg.
Simeone was hit with an £17,000 fine for what was judged to be an ‘obscene’ celebration.
