Doctor recalls scariest 10 minutes after Eriksen collapsed during Euro 2020 match

The Denmark midfielder's collapse came in the 43rd minute of the match against Finland.

As Christian Eriksen , his pulse slipping away, Denmark team doctor Morten Boesen quickly realized there wasn’t a second to lose. “He was breathing, and I could feel his pulse. But suddenly that changed,” Boesen said on Saturday. “And as everyone saw, we started giving him CPR.” The next 10 minutes were among the scariest to ever unfold during a match at football’s European Championship. Several medics worked frenetically to give Eriksen chest compressions while his teammates choked away tears and formed a circle around the midfielder to shield the scene from public view.
