Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been charged with improper conduct by UEFA for his celebration after beating Atletico Madrid to reach the Champions League quarter-finals

Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo is facing disciplinary action for his celebration after one of the three goals he scored in last weekโ€™s 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.


UEFA said the Portuguese would face a hearing on Thursday for โ€œimproper conductโ€ during the last-16 second leg match, where Juventus completed a 3-2 aggregate win.

Ronaldo made a similar gesture to Atletico coach Diego Simeone, who celebrated his teamโ€™s opening goal in the first leg by turning to the crowd and putting his hands on his trousers.

Simeone was fined 20,000 euros ($22,708) for the incident but escaped a touchline ban for the return match. Juventus face Ajax Amsterdam in their quarter-final.
