1100 Days – Eriksen rises as a phoenix
Christian Eriksen plays his first match for Denmark in UEFA Euro after a span of 3 years. Back in 2021, in the Denmark vs Finaland clash in Copenhaven, the midfielder fell on the pitch. He was eventually hospitalised after given CPR on the field.
And now, Eriksen found his way back into the Danish squad. The 32-year-old Manchester United midfielder went on to open the scoring for the Danes, 17th minute into the game.
Eriksen underwent a heart surgery in 2022 before making a return to football. He joined Brentford following which he moved to Manchester United.
And now after a span of 1100 days, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Eriksen has scored for his nation at the UEFA Euro 2024. After a sublime lay off from Jonas Wind, the midfielder unleashed a thunderbolt to put the ball back into the net.
