UEFA has opened an investigation into Cristiano Ronaldo’s explicit gesture during Juventus’ Champions League comeback against Atletico Madrid last week.
UEFA announced on Monday that Ronaldo was facing charges of ‘improper conduct’ after he mimicked Diego Simeone’s gesticulation at the end of Juve’s 3-0 victory over Atleti.
Furthermore, its Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body will rule on the case at its next meeting on Thursday.

Simeone was fined €20,000 for the gesture but was not given a touchline ban for the match in Turin, so the No 7 should not be suspended for the Bianconeri’s quarter-final against Ajax.
