Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been fined 20,000 euros (£17,700) by UEFA for his crotch-grabbing goal celebration in their win over Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The 34 year old former Real Madrid star appeared to mimic Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone, who turned to fans and grabbed his crotch while celebrating his side’s 2-0 first-leg victory.

Ronaldo made the gesture after his hat-trick in the return leg as Juventus won 3-0, and advanced 3-2 on aggregate.
