Explanation of 8 words of Cristiano Ronaldo for the gesture after the defeat of Juventus against Atletico Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo refused to go back on his controversial move towards fans of Atletico Madrid.

The superstar of Juventus was in the limelight as he was coming back to Madrid to face the Champions League at Wanda Metropolitano.

Juve was beaten 2-0 by Diego Simeone's men while Jose Gimenez and Diego Godin found the net – the second goal by deviating from Ronaldo.

He was mocked throughout the match before showing the fans an open hand in response.

Ronaldo refused to stop for the mixed zone reporters after the match but was questioned about his move.

The Portuguese replied: "I have five leagues of champions, you do not have any."

Ronaldo was referring to his incredible record in the competition, having won four times in the last five years at Real Madrid, which contributed to his success with Manchester United in 2008.

Real beat Atletico in the final in 2014 and again in 2016, Ronaldo remaining the enemy of Diego Simeone's men.

Ronaldo was not the only one to make a move with Simeone also in the hot water after grabbing the crotch as a result of Gimenez 's first game.

"This is not a nice gesture, I admit, but I felt the need to do it," he said.

"It was not about the other team, I was turning to our own fans.

"I did it as a player at Lazio and I did it again to show our fans that we had cojones, I can only apologize if someone was offended. "
