[pull out = perform] in this context. I've found definitions of this phrasal verb, but none give this meaning, indicating it's rather informal.

The idea is that celebratory demonstrations accumulate in the historical record like clothes in a closet—and when a person uses a form of celebration associated with someone else, it is like pulling that celebration out of the closet. Here, evidently, Diego Simeone was noted for a certain celebratory antic, and now Cristiano Ronaldo has adopted—or "pulled out"—the same form.

It's unclear from the limited context, but probably it means like pulling out and waving a flag, to draw attention to some aspect of the situation.

@SvenYargs Simeone’s ‘celebation’ is essentially using both hands to draw attention to his privates in a repetitive motion – hence why I think this spelling of the word with no r in the tweet is very much intentional.
