However, one Danish newspaper put it: “Denmark lost. But life won.”

Eriksen’s Inter Milan teammate Romelu Lukaku who scored two goals for Belgium in their 3-0 win against Russia today says it was an emotional day for him.

“For me it was difficult today to play because my mind was with my teammate Christian, I hope he is healthy and I dedicate this performance to him. I cried a lot because I was scared obviously you know we live strong moments together for a year and half I spend more time with him than with my family so my thoughts are with him, his girlfriend, with his two kids and his family”.
