Cristiano Ronaldo's reaction to being goaded by Lazio fans last Sunday was absolutely priceless.
Juventus had just lost 3-1 in the Italian Super Cup when Lazio supporters took aim at the Portuguese superstar.
Lazio fans chanted "Messi, Messi, Messi" in the direction of Ronaldo while he was stood on the pitch at the end of the game in Saudi Arabia.
Ah.

And Ronaldo wasn't about to take it lying down.
The 34-year-old grabbed his crotch and gave a wry smile in the direction of the Lazio supporters.
It was a defiant response from Ronaldo but Lazio fans had the last laugh as their team ran out 3-1 winners in Riyadh.
Luis Alberto opened the scoring in the 16th minute before Paulo Dybala's equaliser in first-half injury time.
Senad Lulic and Danilo Cataldi scored late on to give Lazio the victory over the Italian champions.
Juventus are second in Serie A on goal difference behind Inter Milan with Lazio third, six points adrift with a game in hand.
Meanwhile on the subject of Ronaldo, the striker took his silver medal off in rapid time after his Juventus side lost the Super Cup.
"Ronaldo's not one for silver medals, is he?" 👀

The Italian champions had to collect their runners-up medals in the usual ceremony as Ronaldo was quick to remove it from around his neck - even pieing off the second official who offered his hand out.
For Ronaldo, losing isn't a feeling he's become familiar with in recent times..
He had gone 14 straight finals without defeat for Real Madrid, Portugal and Juventus in various competitions so it's understandable that he wasn't thrilled to be getting his hands on a silver medal.
