'I'm glad he likes my celebration!' - Cristiano Ronaldo responds after Rasmus Hojlund performed iconic 'Siu' celebration in front of him and sends warning to Man Utd ace

Ronaldo was flattered by Hojlund's celebration, acknowledging the youngster's admiration of his career. Never one to be outdone, the ex-Real Madrid man said he hoped he would be the one to 'siu' in the return leg.

Hojlund came off the bench to score the only goal in the first leg. The 22-year-old insisted he meant no disrespect in copying the celebration of a man he described as his idol and Ronaldo has now responded.

Ronaldo said: "It's no problem for me. I know it wasn't out of direspect. It is not only him who does my celebration around the world.

I'm smart enough to understand that. For me it is an honour. I hope to do it in front of him tomorrow [on Sunday]. It will be good. I'm glad he likes my celebration."

As Ronaldo hinted, both men's attention will immediately turn to the second leg of that UEFA Nations League quarter final tie. Denmark will take a one-goal lead to Lisbon as they look to advance to the semi finals.
