Atlético fans tried to create an atmosphere against the Portuguese striker, who replied in stylish fashion to their chants.

Cristiano Ronaldo was expected to have a complicated return to Madrid, especially since his past with Real Madrid -particularly against Atlético- had some memorable moments. Atlético fans tried to make the footballer "pay" for his past with Los Blancos, but it seems that CR7 got away with a big win thanks to a curious gesture.

It all began during the warmup sessions. Cristiano Ronaldo was booed by Atlético fans, but the Portuguese striker ignored them and chose to praise Juve fans that made the trip to Wanda Metropolitano stadium. Then, Atlético fans yelled all sorts of insults against Cristiano, but what came next was the hottest moment in the rivalry between the footballer and Atléti's supporters.

At one point of the first half, Atleti fans started chanting "Cristiano, pay your taxes," in clear reference to CR7's problems with Spain's Internal Revenue Service. Cristiano kept his cool and used his hand to remember all those in attendance how many UEFA Champions League titles he has won, mainly because Atlético has never lifted the coveted continental trophy.
