The quarterfinal UEFA Nations League match between Denmark and Portugal was marked by a memorable moment: Rasmus Hojlund celebrating his goal with Cristiano Ronaldo‘s iconic “Siu” gesture in front of the Portuguese star. After the game, the Danish striker provided insight into his decision to pay tribute to his idol.

Denmark hosted the first leg against Portugal at Parken Stadion, where Hojlund starred. The Manchester United striker scored the only goal of the match in the 78th minute and immediately performed Ronaldo’s signature celebration. Afterward, he spoke about his emotions and the reasons behind his gesture.

“I’m playing against the world’s best soccer player, my idol, and to score goals and become the match-winner… it doesn’t get any better,” Hojlund told TV2, expressing his admiration for Ronaldo. He then clarified his celebration choice:

“It’s for my idol. It’s not that I’m mocking him or anything. I’ve just always said that he’s been very important to me and my soccer career. It’s maybe a bit ambivalent, but scoring against him and Portugal is huge. I was there in 2009 when he scored a free-kick goal, and since then, I’ve been a fan,” Hojlund added

The celebration, especially in such a high-stakes match, sparked controversy and raised questions about whether Ronaldo would perceive it as a provocation. However, Hojlund quickly dismissed these concerns, emphasizing the profound impact Ronaldo has had on him and the new generation of players.

Ronaldo, Portugal, and the road to a comeback

Cristiano Ronaldo, struggling with a complicated season at Al Nassr, was hoping to win his first trophy of the year and his third with the national team. After a disappointing first leg, Portugal now faces a tough task to overcome Denmark and reach the semifinals.

The second leg of the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals will take place at the Jose Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon, the home of Ronaldo’s former club, Sporting CP. With Denmark leading 1-0, Portugal must win by at least a goal to force a penalty shootout.

The winner of this match will face either Italy or Germany in the semifinals. The match, along with the final, will take place during the next international break in June.
