Ronaldo appreciated Hojlund’s gesture, recognizing it as a sign of admiration for his career. However, never one to be outshined, the former Real Madrid star expressed his desire to perform the ‘Siu’ celebration himself in the return leg.
Hojlund, who came off the bench to score the decisive goal in the first leg, clarified that his celebration was meant as a tribute rather than an act of disrespect. Having long considered Ronaldo his idol, the 22-year-old insisted his intentions were purely out of admiration.
In response, Ronaldo downplayed any controversy, stating, “It’s not a problem for me. I know it wasn’t meant disrespectfully. Many players around the world do my celebration. I’m smart enough to understand that, and for me, it’s an honor. I hope to do it in front of him tomorrow—it will be fun. I’m glad he enjoys my celebration.”
With the focus now shifting to the second leg of the UEFA Nations League quarter-final, Denmark will carry their narrow lead to Lisbon as both teams aim for a place in the semi-finals.
