COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - There was one last outpouring of emotion as the Denmark squad arrived back in Copenhagen following a 2-1 extra-time loss to England in their Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley that brought their rollercoaster tournament to an end.

The Danes recovered from Christian Eriksen's heart attack on the pitch in their first match and losing their first two games to blaze an incredible path to the last four where they were edged out by England on Wednesday.

"It's been strong, what we have been through, and now I'm starting to wail again," he said, fighting to hold back tears. "We thank you for the support, and without that support we would not have got back up on the horse, and we end by giving the people a round of applause." "There is pride around it all, because it's been a huge journey. We have been through the whole emotional register and I have never experienced anything like this," captain Simon Kjaer said, adding he had spoken to Eriksen after the semi-final.
