In the first match of the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals, Denmark defeated Portugal thanks to a goal by Rasmus Hojlund. The Manchester United forward celebrated his goal in the style of Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ronaldo sees nothing wrong with that.
Details: Ronaldo admitted that it is a great honor for him that many people in various sports replicate his celebration. Moreover, he understands that Hojlund did not do it to mock him.
Quote: "It wasn't a problem for me. I knew it happened not because he (Hojlund) disrespects me. I'm smart enough to understand that not only he, but people from other sports around the world also mimic my celebration.
It's a great honor for me. But on game day, I hope he can see how I celebrate. It's normal for me. If I score, that's good for me. But if I don't score and someone else does, I'm fine with that."
