AC Milan and Denmark defender Simon Kjaer has been presented with an award from UEFA for his role in saving the life of team-mate Christian Eriksen.
Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s opening game at Euro 2021, and Kjaer was first on the scene to ultimately assist before the medical staff arrived, and the quick actions of all involved helped save his life.
That is why Kjaer and the medical team that saved Christian Eriksen’s life are the 2021 UEFA President’s Award winners.
