Ronaldo-style celebration and a shove on Jesus? Højlund sparks debate (video)

The aftermath of Denmark vs Portugal was marked by a bizarre moment, as Rasmus Højlund appeared to give Jorge Jesus a slight shove during the post-match handshakes on the pitch. Footage circulating on social media makes it difficult to clearly determine the Danish striker's intent, but the gesture did not go unnoticed.

The incident occurred following Portugal's 4-2 victory in a match where Højlund had already been a central figure. The forward scored Denmark's second goal and celebrated by mimicking Cristiano Ronaldo—a move that gained even more attention coming just a day after the Portuguese captain left the national team camp.

Højlund is an outspoken admirer of Ronaldo and has previously spoken publicly about the huge influence the Portuguese icon has had on his career.

After the final whistle, as players and staff from both sides exchanged pleasantries, Højlund approached Jorge Jesus and seemingly made contact with his arm in what looked like a slight nudge. The manager cracked a brief smile at the time and appeared completely unbothered by the exchange.
