Cristiano Ronaldo has been charged by UEFA for his celebration in Juventus’ last-16 Champions League game against Atletico Madrid.
The 34-year-old fired his side into the quarter-finals with a hat-trick in the second leg in Turin, overturning Atletico’s 2-0 victory from the first leg.

Ronaldo followed one of his goals by copying Diego Simeone’s ‘crotch-grabbing’ celebration from the first leg, for which the latter was given a £17,000 fine.
