Rasmus Hojlund's interaction with Jorge Jesus after Portugal vs Denmark game is going viral

An interaction between Rasmus Hojlund and Jorge Jesus following Thursday night's Nations League clash between Denmark and Portugal is going viral.

Portugal remain unbeaten under new head coach Jesus after goals from Joao Cancelo, Goncalo Ramos, Vitinha and Joao Felix secured a hard-fought 4-2 victory over Group D opponents Denmark.

The build-up to this week's game in Copenhagen has been dominated by the country's all-time top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, who decided to leave Portugal's camp on Wednesday after reports of a rift with Jesus emerged.

Ronaldo was therefore unavailable for the clash against Denmark, but his presence was still felt somewhat, when goalscorer Rasmus Hojlund performed his trademark 'Siu' celebration after making it 2-2.

Hojlund has previously described Ronaldo as his childhood idol, so the gesture itself came as little surprise. That being said, the timing was certainly intriguing given the events of the past few days.

Shortly after the full-time whistle, Hojlund could be seen shaking hands with the Portugal squad when he was approached by head coach Jorge Jesus.

Jesus patted Hojlund on the chest, prompting the Dane to return the gesture. Despite being pushed backwards, the Portugal boss responded with a smile. Hojlund, meanwhile, appeared far from impressed.

It was a moment that was picked up by many onlookers, with one fan commenting: "Rasmus Hojlund did NOT look happy with Jorge Jesus." A second wrote: "Who saw Hojlund pushing Jorge Jesus away."

Portugal head coach Jorge Jesus breaks silence on Cristiano Ronaldo situation

For context, it is being reported that a rift between Jesus and Ronaldo stems from Portugal's win over Norway on Sunday, when the latter was sent to warm up for around 30 minutes in the second half but was not brought on.

An emergency meeting was then held involving Ronaldo, Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proenca and Jesus, who was said to be apologetic after the incident.

In fact, according to El Chiringuito's Edu Aguirre, a close friend of Ronaldo's, Jesus had promised to admit the mistake in a public setting.

However, the head coach went on to send a clear message in his press conference that no player is bigger than the team.

Jesus' actions appear to have caused upset, although the Portugal boss is ready to address the situation publicly.

Speaking before Portugal's clash against Denmark on Thursday night, he said: “I will explain everything after the last game. I have many years in football and I know that I did nothing that should have caused things to go differently.

"After the Norway game, we will talk about this subject. I will not hide or run away from it. Nobody can take away what Cristiano represents. He’s an icon and that’s not in question."
