Rasmus Højlund scores and hits the Sium celebration in front of Cristiano Ronaldo… as a tribute.
Cristiano Ronaldo's reaction has been spotted after he watched Rasmus Højlund copy his goal celebration during Portugal's Nations League clash against Denmark.
Manchester United striker Hojlund scored a 78th-minute winner for Denmark in the first leg of their Nations League quarter-final.
It was his second goal in the space of four days after he netted in United's 3-0 win over Leicester.
Prior to that, the 21-year-old had gone a staggering 22 games without finding the back of the net for his club side.
And while he courted controversy for his goal celebration at the King Power Stadium, there was more light-hearted controversy with his choice in Copenhagen.
Hojlund marked his goal by performing Ronaldo's trademark 'Suiii' celebration in front of the Portuguese icon.
And Ronaldo could only watch on with his hands on his hips, seemingly not best pleased at Hojlund's goal and subsequent celebration.
Højlund once said in old interview: “Cristiano is everything to me. I fell in love with football because of Cristiano, I became a Manchester United fan because of Cristiano, I started self-training because of Cristiano, I started doing push-ups and sit-ups every day before I went to bed, because of Cristiano, because I wanted to be Cristiano”.
