Denmark international and Inter Milan playmaker, Christian Eriksen has finally spoken after his cardiac arrest during his country’s Euro 2020 opener against Finland on Saturday.

Recall that the 29-year-old got the football world worried after he collapsed on the pitch shortly before halftime in Denmark’s 1-0 defeat to Finland.

Eriksen was given Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, CPR, before he was taken to the hospital.

“I want to say thank you all for what you did for me.”
