Christian Eriksen has admitted that he was “honoured” to have met the Queen of Denmark with his girlfriend ahead of Tottenham’s Europa League clash with Borussia Dortmund on Thursday night.

The Spurs playmaker has been in fine form for the north London side so far this season to help Mauricio Pochettino’s men up to second place in the Premier League table.

Eriksen was joined by his girlfriend Sabrina Kvist Jensen as the couple met Queen Margrethe II.

And the Tottenham star used his personal Instagram account to reveal his delight at the occasion.

Eriksen posted the picture above on the app and wrote: “An absolute honour to meet the Queen of Denmark yesterday! A night to remember! #shelookslikeamillion”

The Denmark international could be involved when Spurs host Borussia Dortmund in the return leg of their Europa League last 16 clash at White Hart Lane on Thursday night.
