On September 17, 2019, Juventus played Atletico Madrid in a Champions League match at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

During the match, Cristiano Ronaldo had a chance to score a late winner but his effort went just wide, and he made a hand gesture that was interpreted as mocking by the fans.

Ronaldo later clarified in a post-match interview that the gesture meant 'learn, you have to learn.'

Atletico Madrid had rallied back from a 2-0 deficit to draw the match, with goals from Stefan Savic and Hector Moreno.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid's 3-0 thrashing at the hands of PSG on September 17, 2019, had sparked debate about the impact of Cristiano Ronaldo's departure on the team.
