It’s certainly special to see Eriksen being honoured in this way, and it’s a reminder of how much it means to have a huge crowd at a football match.
Of course, it’s a shame that these scenes are happening due to such distressing circumstances, but what a way to send a message of support to Eriksen during his recovery.

This is one of the best 20 minutes of football I've watched in a while. The emotion, occassion, the approach on show and the presence of the crowd makes it worth it.
