Real Madrid star faces ban for El-Classico celebration

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo  is facing sanction for his goal celebration after scoring the first haf equaliser in Sunday's La Liga 'Clasico' at Barcelona.

The current Ballon d'Or holder appeared to be urging Barca fans to calm down after netting in the 31st minute to make it 1-1.

The president of Spain's professional football league (LFP) said they are looking into Ronaldo's goal celebration to ascertain weather to sanction him or not.

"We have to be careful with provocative gestures by a player when he scores a goal or with any other provocation or conduct that could incite violence among spectators," president Javier Tebas told reporters on Tuesday.

the Spanish football authority are looking to stop any action by players or supporters that might be provocative following the death of a Deportivo La Coruna fan in fighting before a La Liga game in November 2014.

"It must be sanctioned, from a fine up to a suspension. We will look into it," Javier Tebas added.
