Cristiano Ronaldo faces possible La Liga charge for his Real Madrid goal celebration against Barcelona during El Clasico defeat
- Barcelona beat Real Madrid 2-1 in La Liga on Sunday night
- Cristiano Ronaldo equalised for Real in the first half at the Nou Camp
- The 30-year-old appeared to urge Barca fans to calm down after his goal
Real
Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo could be sanctioned for his goal
celebration when he netted the equaliser in Sunday's La Liga 'Clasico'
at Barcelona, the president of Spain's professional football league
(LFP) said.
Ronaldo,
not for the first time when he has scored at the Nou Camp, appeared to
be urging the Barca fans to calm down when he struck to make it 1-1 in
the 31st minute.
The
Portugal captain, regularly the subject of abuse himself, has gained a
reputation for winding up opposing fans and was widely criticised when
he tore off his shirt to celebrate his successful penalty in last
season's Champions League final victory over Atletico Madrid.

Even after being mobbed by his team-mates, the 30-year-old appeared to urge Barcelona fans to calm down
'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,' LFP president Javier Tebas told reporters on
Tuesday.
'It must be sanctioned, from a fine up to a suspension,' he added. 'We will look into it.'
Following
the death of a Deportivo La Coruna fan in fighting before a La Liga
game in November, Spain's soccer authorities are seeking to crack down
on any action by players or supporters that may be construed as
provocative.
