Denmark’s New Goal Machine Takes a Siuuu…
Rasmus Hojlund brought out his best dance moves on Thursday night after scoring for Denmark, channeling his inner Cristiano Ronaldo with the infamous ‘Siuuu’ celebration. In a dramatic twist, the Manchester United striker snagged Denmark’s only goal in a 1-0 victory against Portugal, all under the watchful eye of Ronaldo himself. Hojlund swooped in like a hawk off the bench at the 78-minute mark to net the winning goal in the UEFA Nations League quarter-final, leaving fans buzzing and the online world ablaze. While some raised eyebrows, suggesting Hojlund was mocking Ronaldo by pulling off his signature move, others simply chuckled at how social media loves to stir the pot. Who really bothers about how a player celebrates—with dance moves or moonwalks—honestly?
The young striker later explained that his celebration was an ode to his idol, not a poke. “It’s for my idol,” Hojlund shared with TV2. “It wasn’t to mock him or anything. He’s had such a huge impact on my football career.” Hojlund’s swoon-worthy celebration might seem like a small footnote, but for fans and folks on the internet, it’s a big deal. It’s a friendly nod to his football hero and a sign that he’s finding his groove again.
This comeback is definitely something Hojlund needed, boosting him back to form just like when he started scoring in bursts last season. With his confidence patched up and after popping the goal drought balloon, we might be witnessing his epic run. Scoring against Portugal and performing a top-notch celebration? That’s a heroic combo worthy of sneaky dance moves! Get your popcorn ready, Carrington might see a dance-off or two when he returns!
