Hojlund's first goal came in the 36th minute, assisted by Kevin De Bruyne, a former Manchester City midfielder. His second goal was scored with his head, also assisted by De Bruyne. The striker's celebration of his first goal involved touching the Champions League badge on his sleeve, which sparked debate among fans.
However, Hojlund clarified the meaning of his celebration in an interview after the game. He stated that he was celebrating playing in the Champions League and scoring a goal in the competition. He was happy to be playing for Napoli and proud to be representing the team in Europe.
Meanwhile, another Manchester United loanee, Marcus Rashford, played for Barcelona and provided an assist in their match against Paris Saint-Germain.
It's worth noting that Hojlund's performance in the Champions League has been a significant improvement from his time at Manchester United, where he struggled to score goals.
In addition, the loan deals of both Hojlund and Rashford have allowed them to gain valuable experience and showcase their skills in top-level competitions.
