Denmark’s first EURO 2024 game was always going to be a poignant one given what happened four years earlier.

Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest in his country’s group opener with Finland, leading to traumatic scenes at Parken Stadium.

The playmaker didn’t feature again in that tournament as a result but successfully rebuilt his career ahead of Sunday’s clash with Slovenia.

And Eriksen ensured his return to the continental stage would be a fitting one by opening the scoring with a fine finish in the 17th minute.

The 32-year-old’s strike arrived exactly 1,100 days after his traumatic ordeal at the previous European Championship.

An incredibly heart-warming moment for the Manchester United man.
