Christian Eriksen – 'I don't remember collapsing during Euro match'

In a recent interview, Christian Eriksen said that he "does not remember anything" as he collapsed on the field during Denmark's Euro 2020 match against Finland in Copenhagen.

But insisted he had no fear that he would suffer another cardiac arrest as he plans to resume his football career.

Looking to the future he is targeting a comeback from his cardiac arrest to play for Denmark in the World Cup in November. However, the 29-year-old Eriksen has not played since collapsing during Denmark’s opening match at the European Championship against Finland in June and has been released by Inter Milan.

Not only did he return, but he returned as if nothing happened in the first place. That is hard to achieve. So proud of this man.

[lauradempsey]

We are all so happy for you and your family that you are still here 💞

[matthewcayber]

Just listening to him saying, “I don’t remember…” is scary enough. It’s a miracle that he was able to make a comeback and play again.

[cjhiufi]

And now 4 years later he still scores goals for his team, RESPECT from🇭🇷

this incident made me think of players like Miki Feher, gone too soon. I feared the worst and I feel powerless when all I could do is watch, I am so glad his life was saved, and I hope I hever have to see him hit the floor like that again

Learn CPR and know where the nearest AED is located. Sudden Cardiac Death can happen to anyone at anytime. If you experience burning chest sensation, shortness of breath, dizziness, confusion and somehow you made it out of the arrhythmia without going into SCA. Get to the ER asap, you could've have been close to SCA. Whether you are working out, waking up, resting it doesn't matter.

I never realized how much Danish sounds like German. Some of the words are very similar sounding or even exactly the same

[johnynoway]

As someone with Epilepsy.. its very similar except instead of your heart its just your mind deciding to take a nap and shut down suddenly.

Now its not bad.. its a 5 minute power nap as if your phone screen suddenly locked or shut off.

Whats bad is that you dont know WHEN its gona happen sooo
it can be at any time and any place.
On the stret
at home
at school
at work
on a bus
in the middle of nowhere.

Its just random.

I take meds for it and im fine now tho.

There are no dreams
You just wake up suddenly in a slight daze and quite possibly soil yourself.
