Christian Eriksen returns to football in moving moment during Brentford vs Newcastle

Christian Eriksen has made his return to professional football and it’s a beautiful sight to see.

The sporting world joined in prayer last summer when the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder collapsed during Denmark’s opening game at Euro 2020 against Finland.

The heroic actions of Denmark’s players and medical staff as well as everybody in attendance and around the world who gave their best wishes helped to ensure that a miracle happened that day.

Now, having completed a move to Brentford from Inter Milan to return to the sport that he loves so dearly, Eriksen has finally gotten his chance to play top-class football once again.

And the moment that the Danish superstar completed his comeback was a truly moving moment as he was introduced by Thomas Frank in the second-half against Newcastle United.

The fact that the Bees were down to 10 men and trailing their opponents 2-0 thanks to goals from Joelinton and Joe Willock was simply immaterial as Eriksen’s return simply transcended the sport.

And fittingly, both sets of fans as well as Brentford and Newcastle players joined in applauding Eriksen for making his triumphant return 259 days after that traumatic day in Copenhagen.

So, be sure to join in with the applause and outpouring of love towards Eriksen’s inspirational return by checking out the moment that he stepped on a Premier League pitch once again down below:
