Christian Eriksen was on the minds of everybody involved with Thursday's Euro 2020 match between Denmark and Belgium in Copenhagen. Eriksen is still recovering in the hospital after suffering cardiac arrest during Denmark's game against Finland last Saturday.

Before the game, a large Eriksen No. 10 jersey flag was unfurled on the pitch:

After play started, the match was paused at the 10th minute in honor of Christian Eriksen's No. 10. Players, coaches and fans from both sides showed their support for Eriksen during the pause, which featured about a minute's worth of applause.

The stop in action came minutes after Denmark quickly got on the board first, with Yussuf Poulsen getting on the board after just two minutes of play. Unfortunately for the Danish squad, Belgium responded with two goals and ultimately took home a 2-1 victory.

Of course, what's really important here is that Christian Eriksen is recovering well after his near-death experience last weekend. It was a scary sight as he collapsed in the middle of the match and required attention from medical personnel before being taken to the hospital.

There has been an outpouring of support for Eriksen over the last week since the incident. He released this first official statement earlier in the week, per ESPN:

“Hello everyone, Big thanks for your sweet and amazing greetings and messages from all around the world. It means a lot to me and my family.

“I'm fine — under the circumstances. I still have to go through some examinations at the hospital, but I feel OK. Now, I will cheer on the boys on the Denmark team in the next matches. Play for all of Denmark. Best, Christian.”

Let's wish Christian Eriksen a speedy recovery. At 29 years old, he should hopefully still have a long career ahead of him.
