De Bruyne was referencing the incident where Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch against Finland in Denmark's first group stage game.

Asked about the lack of celebration, De Bruyne explained: "I was happy, of course, but I respect people here too much to celebrate wildly.

"I went to the part of the pitch where Christian Eriksen collapsed on Saturday and I stayed calm."
