Rasmus Hojlund, after a challenging period without goal contributions, has now scored three times for both club and country. He attributes his passion and dedication in football largely to Cristiano Ronaldo, stating that he became a Manchester United fan and began self-training due to Ronaldo’s influence. Hojlund even celebrated a goal against Portugal in a manner reminiscent of Ronaldo as a tribute to his idol. Ronaldo acknowledged this, stating he understood it was not disrespectful and felt honored by such celebrations worldwide.
"I'm not going to exaggerate, but Cristiano is everything to me. I fell in love with football because of Cristiano... I wanted to be Cristiano."
"It wasn't to mock him or anything. He's had such a huge impact on me and my football career... to score against him and Portugal, it's huge."
