Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has paid homage to Christian Eriksen and the supporters from across the continent following the conclusion of Euro 2020.
Italy have been crowned champions of Europe after they defeated England in a penalty shootout at Wembley stadium on Sunday night.
The victory marked the end of an excellent month of football which saw a large return to stadiums for supporters all over Europe, in particular with the growing attendances in London.
Despite the excellent quality of football on show the tournament might be best remembered for the heartbreaking scenes when Denmark star Eriksen collapsed on the pitch in his side's opener vs Finland having suffered a cardiac arrest.
The emotional scenes united football fans as one at a time when they were being pitted against one another as sporting rivals, and following the conclusion of the tournament Pogba praised supporters for their role over the past month.
"It’s been a dream once again to play in such a prestigious tournament and against the best nations in the world," the Frenchman wrote on social media. "We were not able to succeed but I would like to congratulate Italy for winning the tournament.
"I would also like to give a big cheer to Denmark and @ChrisEriksen8 for showing strength during your difficult times. Thank you again to all of the fans for your energy and positivity.
"I will always remember this special EUROs tournament for the rest of my life. It was great to see you all in the stadiums after a difficult 18 months. Hopefully we’ll see you soon and with the trophy!"
