Fans seeing the interaction online were quick to speculate on what might have prompted it, with one saying: “He’s clearly not happy that Jorge Jesus dropped his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo.”

A second said: “What’s he trying to achieve? He should concentrate on Denmark instead.”

A third added: “Hojlund a real one.”

Another said: “Same childish traits.”

Hojlund previously copied Ronaldo’s celebration when he scored the winner against Portugal when the two nations met in March 2025.

That time Ronaldo did play, and he watched on as Hojlund’s winner was celebrated with an all too familiar sight.

But Hojlund insisted he was not trying to mock the great, saying: “It was for my idol.

“It wasn’t because I wanted to mock him or anything. He’s had such a big impact on me and my football career.

“It might be a bit ambivalent, but to score against him and Portugal, it’s huge.

“I remember him scoring from a free kick in 2009 when I went to watch the match and since then, I’ve been a huge Cristiano fan.

“I’ve always dreamed of doing Ronaldo’s celebration, especially against him.

“It’s not because it would be gloating, but more to show some respect. I’m a bit of a fanboy, if you can call it that.”

Meanwhile, following the game when asked about whether the Portugal group was with him, Jesus told Sport TV: “There’s nothing that should stop the group from being with me.

“I understand the question. The important thing is what we have to do. The things that happen don’t separate the group; they haven’t separated us and they won’t separate us.”
