Rasmus Hojlund, the Manchester United striker, emulated Cristiano Ronaldo's signature 'Siu' celebration after scoring the winning goal in Denmark's 1-0 victory over Portugal. While some perceived it as a taunt aimed at Ronaldo, Hojlund clarified that his gesture was a tribute rooted in admiration for Ronaldo's influence on his football journey. He recalled watching Ronaldo score a stunning free kick in 2011, which inspired him. Despite Hojlund's mixed club performance since joining Manchester United, this moment symbolized a significant personal achievement for the young striker.
It's for my idol. It wasn't to mock him or anything. He's had such a huge impact on me and my football career.
Maybe it's a bit ambivalent, but to score against him and Portugal, it's huge.
