After the match, Hojlund was ecstatic, calling it “a perfect moment.” He couldn’t have scripted it better—scoring against his idol and being the match-winner in such a crucial game. But he made it clear, this wasn’t about disrespect. “Cristiano is everything to me,” he admitted. “I fell in love with football because of him, became a Manchester United fan because of him, and even started training like him.” Talk about dedication!
On the other side, Portugal’s captain Bruno Fernandes acknowledged that Denmark came out with intensity, and Portugal just couldn’t match them in key moments. Fernandes admitted they lacked aggression and would need to be sharper in the return leg.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo, ever the competitor, took to social media with a simple but determined message: “We have 90 minutes to turn around. Roll on Portugal!” Fans rallied behind their captain, believing a comeback is inevitable in the second leg.
This wasn’t just another Nations League game—it was a statement from Denmark and a special night for Hojlund, who lived out a childhood dream in front of the world. But with Portugal looking for revenge in the next match, things are just getting started. Stay tuned for an explosive second leg!
