Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo made waves on Tuesday after celebrating his goals against APOEL is a different way to usual...

Ronaldo struck twice against the Cypriot side, first in the 49th minute and then in the 54th as Real ran out 6-0 winners.

Interestingly (for some), the Portuguese celebrated his first goal by pointing to the sky and imitating climbing a rope.

According to 'Defensa Central', the Real Madrid man was making a reference to his ability to climb out of the hole he has dug himself into with his recent form in front of goal.

However, the same source also suggests that the striker may have been making a reference to the height to which Ronaldo managed to leap to head home his first goal.
