With 2.5 million Instagram followers, Hojlund is an active user on the platform. Prior to Thursday’s witty post, he shared an image of himself celebrating his late equalizer against Bournemouth, writing: “We desired the victory, but I required that [goal].”
Emerging from a Challenging Campaign

They will travel back to Bilbao on May 21 to confront either Tottenham or Bodo/Glimt in the decisive match.
