Soccer fans both in the stadium and watching at home were stunned on Saturday as they watched Denmark and Inter Milan soccer star, Christian Eriksen, collapse during his country’s group-stage match against Finland in the first round of the ongoing Euro 2020 tournament.

A few minutes before the end of the first half of the game, a throw-in was played toward Eriksen, who collapsed soon after. Players immediately ran to his side, and called for medical staff who rushed onto the pitch to deliver first aid.
