Euro 2020: It’s hard to describe what this team has been through past few weeks, says Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand

Denmark, Russia and Finland all finished with three points in group B but the Danes had the better goal difference. Denmark thumped Russia 4-1 in Copenhagen. Belgium won the group with nine points, capping it off with a 2-0 win over Finland.

What Denmark achived on Monday againsr Russia is nothing but inspirationsal. Denmark’s key mid-fielder Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch in the team’s opening 1-0 loss to Finland and had to be resuscitated with a defibrillator. Denmark's coach Kasper Hjulmand lauded his team’s stunning progression to the last 16 of the European Championship and said it is just reward for his players, who have stuck to their task following team mate Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest. Erikse has been released from the hospital on Friday. "What a night. We hoped it would be a magic night," Hjulmand told reporters. "I can’t imagine how they managed to come back from what they went through, so a big credit to the boys.
