Ronaldo responds to Højlund’s celebration as Portugal crush Denmark

Cristiano Ronaldo played a key role in Portugal’s 5-2 victory over Denmark in the UEFA Nations League quarter-final second leg at Estadio José Alvalade.

The hosts took the lead after Joachim Andersen own goal — but Denmark equalized through a Rasmus Kristensen strike.

Ronaldo restored Portugal’s advantage, converting a rebound in front of goal before celebrating with his iconic “Siu” celebration — a direct response to Rasmus Højlund’s similar celebration in the first leg.

Christian Eriksen briefly leveled the score for Denmark, but Portugal’s dominance was undeniable — Francisco Trincão netted twice, and Gonçalo Ramos added another to seal an emphatic victory.
