UEFA fine Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo for 'cojones' gesture

Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has been fined by UEFA for his 'cojones' gesture after victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last week.

Ronaldo has been hit with a €20,000 punishment for his actions.

It's the same punishment which was handed to Atleti coach Diego Simeone, who made a similar gesture when his side won the first leg.

UEFA say Ronaldo's conduct was inappropriate per their regulations but stopped short of handing him a ban which would have seen him miss a game.

Juve face Ajax, who knocked out Real Madrid, over two legs in the last eight.
