Rasmus Hojlund paid tribute to his "idol" Cristiano Ronaldo in the best way he knew how.
'Ronaldo will never be forgotten' – Hojlund dedicates goal to 'idol' Cristiano
Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal future is unclear, but Denmark's Rasmus Hojlund paid tribute to international football's record goalscorer.
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.
