His celebration was one of the most emotional at this European Championship: Yussuf Poulsen! After the serious incident involving teammate Christian Eriksen and the almost certain exit following defeats against Finland and Belgium in their first two group matches, the RB Leipzig star and the Danish national team managed to pull off a minor miracle! A 4-1 win against Russia, in which Poulsen netted his second goal of the tournament, sent the Danes through to the round of 16. Poulsen would’ve felt particularly sympathetic during the drama surrounding Eriksen, as the 27-year-old himself had to overcome a major tragedy at a young age. What makes Poulsen such a great player, why does he wear the name “Yurary” on the back of his Denmark shirt, and why is the striker so crucial to RB Leipzig?
