Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been fined €20,000 for his explicit gesture against Atletico Madrid but has escaped a Champions League ban.
UEFA’s verdict comes as no surprise, given Atleti boss Diego Simeone was handed the same punishment for celebrating in such a manner.
Consequently, the No 7 is free to face Ajax in the quarter-finals after his hat-trick allowed Juve to come back from 2-0 down in their last-16 tie.
