Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen said he dreamed of being in the quarter-finals of the Europa League a while back. The Dane suffered a heart problem during Euro 2021 but has now recovered.
"Looking back, a year ago, I was dreaming about where I am today. Back then, it was just a dream of being back playing football and then of course taking it step by step and just being the best version of a football player you can be.
"I'm enjoying it. I did a year ago, but I'm doing it even more now. To go as far as possible will be fun. And where we are now, already with a trophy, with aims for two more, it'll be good fun," he added.
Moreover, the 31-year-old suffered an ankle injury in January and was unable to return to action until April: "At the time I didn't think it was as bad so I didn't fear for the season. I was more concerned about when [in the season] I was going to be back."
