Euro 2020: Fairytale comes true as Denmark grabs place in knockout stages
CNN
In a campaign overshadowed by the health of Christian Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark's opening Euro 2020 game, the Danish national team delivered a pulsating performance against Russia to secure an unlikely place in the tournament's knockout stages.
Having lost their opening two games, Denmark thumped Russia 4-1 in Copenhagen on Tuesday and with Group B winner Belgium beating Finland 2-0 in St. Petersburg, the Danes finished second, setting up a last-16 match against Wales in Amsterdam on Saturday. Ahead of Denmark's second group B game -- the 2-1 defeat by Belgium -- a giant shirt bearing Eriksen's name with the number 10 was unfurled and the popular "You Will Never Walk Alone" football anthem was played.More Related News
