Rasmus Hojlund paid tribute to his "idol" Cristiano Ronaldo in the best way he knew how.
Hojlund netted for Denmark against Portugal in the Nations League on Thursday.
Portugal went on to win 4-2, doing so in the absence of their iconic forward Ronaldo.
The 41-year-old sensationally left Portugal's squad earlier this week, reportedly due to a disagreement with coach Jorge Jesus over his game time.
Ronaldo's Portugal future is unclear, but former Manchester United striker Hojlund dedicated his goal to the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Hojlund mimicked Ronaldo's iconic 'siuuu' celebration, and explained he wanted to pay homage to his favourite player.
"I just wanted to dedicate my goal to my idol," Hojlund said.
"For everything Cristiano is going through at this point in his career, he will never be forgotten."
Ronaldo is the highest-scoring player in the history of international football, with 146 goals to his name.
He has netted 979 career goals in total.

Em’ am a Messi fan but truth be told. Ronaldo deserve respect, for all is done for Portugal 🇵🇹 as a nation. Yeah! But in every verdict. Ronaldo should give the comin generation their time to showcase what they have in bag. Just show them ur support from the dressing room and they we remember ur name for decade than tryna drag their time with them. I still give you ur respect 🫡 as a legend of the game but Messi pass you oo😂😂🥹
You only say what’s favors you cr7 is the best Messi is a fifa product so Don compare them cr7 is one and the best in the world

What Portugal didn't understand is that Ronaldo fans are the one supporting Portugal and not the Portuguese. So loosing Ronaldo will definitely cost them a lot. It will soon started to affect their mentality in the filed too. And Shame on Portugal. Ronaldo didn't deserve this. He did everything for you, raised you from grass to grace. He should be honoured as a forever legend. look at how Argentina are trying everything possible to honour legend Messi. Messi is a a legend just like Ronaldo, and is more of legend in National team than Messi. So Ronaldo deserves more. 💔💔💔
Leave story… everything that has a beginning has an end . Take it or leave it Ronaldo is now a Social media GOAT. No one is disputing what Cr7 has done for national team but the team will always Come 1st

Real like bro see how Argentina players values and appreciate Messi so much But look at Portugal they’re a disgrace to themselves it shows and define who they’re and the kind of mentality they have couldn’t appreciate a legend creating hatred and beef for someone that brought you into spotlight Imagine make Messi wan play free kick make Alvarez go play an like Bruno did to Ronaldo I’m much sure he will get out of that team
You know why? Because Messi is a leader while Cristiano is a boss and a dictator. Messi left Argentina team as still the best player but Cristiano not Portugal best player for over 4yrs now but yet he refused to step aside from the team but he demanding for same respect as Messi. When we are small, we respect, run errand freely and willingly for brothers and sisters who use to allow us eat portions of food that remains when eating together and don't respect brothers or sisters who sat to finish the food with us. Cristiano still trying to stay by all means in Portugal national team is his greatest undiong

Now u hear the rubbish this fool is saying.... Portugal is a country way bigger than Ronald players come and go jst a reminder. Ronaldo is no longer delivering anything on the national team even at club level he should have said good bye already but no that good bye is coming in a disrespectful manner and that's it. Y don't u ask Messi how is doing his things for crying out loud
