Nations League: Rasmus Hojlund trolls Cristiano Ronaldo with iconic goal celebration as Denmark beat Portugal

Rasmus Hojlund performed Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal celebration after scoring the winner for Denmark against Portugal in the Nations League on Thursday.

Hojlund came off the bench to net the winner in his side’s 1-0 Nations League quarter-final first-leg victory at Parken Stadium.

The Manchester United striker struck in the 78th minute to help spare the blushes of Christian Eriksen, whose first-half penalty was saved.

“It was fantastic, it was a great day in many ways,” said Hojlund about the goal and celebration.

“I played against my idol and scored and was the match winner. It couldn’t have been written much better.”

Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes, Hojlund’s captain at Old Trafford but playing on the opposite side to the forward in Portugal colours, said: “We weren’t surprised, we knew they were aggressive and that they would come out strong.

“We lacked aggression and we needed to be stronger in the duels, more intelligent in taking advantage of the depth.

“We have a difficult game ahead of us but we really want to win, and at home with our fans we are sure that we’ll be able to turn the game around.”
