"For me, he's the GOAT," Rasmus Hojlund on CR7

Rasmus Hojlund made a lasting impression during the first leg of the Nations League quarter-final between Denmark and Portugal. Coming on in the second half, the Manchester United forward found the back of the net nine minutes later, securing victory for his team. But it was his celebration that truly caught the eye.

In front of Cristiano Ronaldo, Hojlund mimicked the famous "Siu" of the Portuguese star. A gesture that might have seemed provocative, but was actually an intentional tribute:

I'm not going to exaggerate, but Cristiano means everything to me. I fell in love with football because of Cristiano, I became a Manchester United fan because of Cristiano. I started training on my own because of Cristiano, I started doing push-ups and sit-ups every day before going to bed because of Cristiano, because I wanted to be Cristiano. For me, he's the GOAT.

A sincere tribute that highlights Ronaldo's enduring influence on the rising generations.
