Some 290 days ago, Denmark star Christian Eriksen nearly died at Parken Stadium. Today, he scored there.
Last June, Eriksen suffered a life-threatening emergency when he collapsed on the pitch during a Euro 2020 match against Finland at Parken Stadium. Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest, and the quick response from medical personnel was vital in saving his life.
At the time, it seemed unlikely that Eriksen would ever play elite-level soccer again. But less than a year after the terrifying collapse, Eriksen was back at Parken Stadium as Denmark’s captain in a friendly against Serbia. Obviously, the Denmark supporters were thrilled to see the Brentford midfielder back with the squad, but Eriksen didn’t stop there.
