On May 21, 2023, Anders Christiansen started against Häcken. After that, Malmö’s Danish star suffered heart problems, which forced him to have a defibrillator implanted and rehabilitate.
This year, he has made six appearances for Malmö – but tonight, May 28, 2024, Christiansen was part of a starting eleven for MFF again.
– It was special, I had been looking forward to playing with the boys from the start again. It was just a pleasure to step out into packed stadiums with incredible framing once again. Three points too, it won’t be much better Tuesday night, says Anders Christiansen after the start and the 2-1 victory against Elfsborg.
The midfielder was replaced after an hour of play. The Malmö audience then celebrated him with a standing ovation and a dedicated chant.
