Alex Scott reduced to TEARS following Christian Eriksen’s collapse in Denmark’s Euro 2020 match

Alex Scott was reduced to tears after Christian Eriksen‘s collapsed on the pitch and needed urgent CPR treatment during Denmark’s Euro 2020 match with Finland on Saturday.

The 29-year-old Danish midfielder went down unchallenged and required urgent medical assistance in distressing scenes in Copenhagen, which saw the match called off just after 6pm. 

Eriksen was taken off the pitch via a moving stretcher on wheels shortly after the cancellation of the match with the midfielder wearing an oxygen mask. UEFA confirmed that Eriksen has been stabilised and is going to hospital following the ordeal.

And when cameras cut to the BBC studio containing Scott, Cesc Fabregas, Micah Richards and host Gary Lineker, the former England women’s footballer was clearly emotional. 

She told the studio: ‘I’m already getting emotional, I cant believe what we’re witnessing. Football goes totally out of the window. 

‘You’re thinking about his family, all the rest of the players that are out there witnessing it as well. I actually just got on my phone and told my mother I love her. I think it’s a reminder how quickly life can change. Just like that.’

Current professional footballer Fabregas was also visibly shocked and claimed that everything has been put into perspective as a result of the incident. 

Fabregas said: ‘I don’t really know what to say really. My body is shaking. All I can think about is Christian’s family, what they must be going through and I pray for the very best.

‘How many times do I go home and I’m upset and I fight with my family and loved ones? You realise it’s just a game. We need to enioy it every second and have passion and enjoy it but really there are things that don’t matter anymore. 

‘The most important thing is health. Just try to be always happy and enjoy what you have in life and how blessed we are and that’s it. It’s just a big shock for all of us.’
