Ronaldo copied Simeone’s celebration from a couple of weeks earlier
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.

The forward was facing an improper conduct charge under Art. 11 (2) (b) and Art. 11 (2) (d) of the UEFA disciplinary regulations.
