After Talisca’s game-winning goal, Ronaldo made fun of the Al-Shabab supporters, many of whom had been yelling Lionel Messi’s name throughout.

When Ronaldo was celebrating with Juventus against Atletico Madrid in 2019, he did something similar. He was then fined €20,000 and faced charges of improper behavior from UEFA as a result.
