Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo faces disciplinary action after one of three goals he scored in last week's 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
UEFA said the Portuguese would be the subject of a hearing Thursday for "inappropriate conduct" in the first leg of the last 16 days, in which Juventus won a 3-2 victory.
Ronaldo made a similar move to Atlético coach Diego Simeone, who celebrated the first goal of his team in the first leg by turning to the crowd and putting his hand on his pants.
Simeone was fined € 20,000 for the incident, but escaped a ban on touching the second leg. Juventus will face Ajax in the quarter-finals.
A statement confirmed: "Following a disciplinary investigation conducted by a UEFA Ethics and Discipline Inspector, in accordance with Article 55 of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations, a procedure Disciplinary was opened following the match of the eighth-finals of the Champions League between Juventus and Atlético Madrid.
