In a recent UEFA Nations League quarterfinal match, Denmark's Rasmus Højlund scored the decisive goal against Portugal and celebrated by emulating Cristiano Ronaldo's signature 'Siu' celebration.
The 22-year-old Manchester United striker, who has openly admired Ronaldo, clarified that the gesture was a tribute rather than mockery. He stated, "It's for my idol. It's not like I'm mocking him or anything. I've just always said that he has a lot of importance to me and my football career."
Ronaldo, observing the celebration, maintained his composure during the match. Post-game, he expressed determination regarding the upcoming second leg, stating, "We have 90 minutes to turn around... Roll on Portugal!"
