While Eriksen’s collapse was nothing short of horrifying, it’s cool to see a bunch of people from all different countries and walks of life rallying for one thing.

Christian Eriksen may still be recovering, but his presence is very much being felt at the EURO 2020 tournament.

Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery after one of the scariest things we’ve seen in live sports in a very long time.
