The 34-year-old is heavily criticised for his ‘cojones’ goal celebration, following Juventus’ 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid.

The Portuguese star, who was on top of his game netted three times, cancelling out Atletico’s 2-0 advantage from the first-leg, to ensure Juventus progress to the quarter-finals.

Interestingly, Ronaldo celebrated one of his goals in similar way Diego Simeone reacted after winning the first leg, but was later slammed €20,000 as fine by UEFA.
