Portugal and Denmark are all set to go head-to-head in their blockbuster Nations League quarter-final second leg match on Sunday night. Brian Riemer's Denmark travel to the Estadio Jose Alvalade with a 1-0 advantage thanks to a second-half goal from Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund.
The biggest talking point in that meeting was Hojlund copying United great Cristiano Ronaldo's famous 'Siu' goal celebration. Hojlund later insisted that he was not mocking the player he considered as his "idol" and "the world's best footballer". Ronaldo, meanwhile, said he doesn't have an issue with the current United man.

Ronaldo said of the incident: "It's no problem, for me it's not a problem. I knew it's not because he does not have respect for me, of course not.
"I'm smart enough to understand that not only him, but around the world other sportspeople use my celebration. For me it's an honour. But I hope tomorrow [tonight] he can see my celebration."
Despite this, Ronaldo and his Portugal teammates are going to be focused on overturning the 1-0 deficit instead. Two current United players could be involved for Portugal in the form of Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes, while three are expected to feature for Denmark with Hojlund, Christian Eriksen and Patrick Dorgu in the squad.

Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez isn't expected to panic when it comes to his selection, so it's possible that he could name the same XI from the first leg. As for Denmark, Hojlund has put himself in contention to start - after scoring from their subs bench - and it's likely that the United forward will be given the nod through the middle.
