Denmark won their first ever Euro 92 title, their only European Championship title to date. They beat Germany in the final. At the time, Denmark were drawn in a tight group with Sweden, France and England. Sweden were the hosts. The Danish team featured Peter Schmeichel, Lal Orson and Brian Lederer. In the group stage, they drew with England, featuring Martin Keown, Stuart Pearce, Paul Merson and Gary Lineker, and lost 1–0 to hosts Sweden. In the final group match, they beat France, featuring Laurent Blanc, Didier Deschamps and Eric Cantona, with goals from Henrik Larsson and Elle, to finish second in the group and advance to the next round.

At that time, the European Championship did not have a round of 16 or quarter-finals, but rather a single semi-final after the group stage. There were only two groups. Denmark faced the Netherlands and drew 2-2, so extra time was played without a result, and Denmark advanced to the final on penalties. Larsen scored both goals for Denmark. In the final, Denmark faced Germany, who had defeated the hosts Sweden. Goals from Janssen and Valfort won the match. The top scorers were Henrik Larsen of Denmark, Karl-Heinz Riedel of Germany, Dennis Bergkamp of the Netherlands, and Thomas Brolin of Sweden, who scored three goals each.

As important as Larsen, Denmark's top scorer, was Ledruck. He was named in the UEFA Best 11 for the tournament as a midfielder. The 11 was selected in a 4-4-2 formation, with 4 defenders, 4 midfielders, 2 strikers and a goalkeeper. Peter Schmeichel was also included, as were Laurent Blanc, Ruud Gullis, Dennis Bergkamp and Marco van Basten.

In fact, under Nielsen, Denmark played a defensive-oriented game and used very few attacking players. One of those attacking players was Brian Ledruck. Both he and Larsen were responsible for the attack. Brian Ledrud did not score a goal in the tournament, but his individual skills, passing, scale and speed were the lifeblood of the Danish attack. As a result, he was included in the best 11, and in the Euro 92 Denmark, Ledrud was considered more of a player than Larsen. Ledrud was a versatile player who could play as a winger, striker and attacking midfielder. Although he is not often heard of today, he was one of the most talented players of his time.

Born in 1969 and now 55 years old, Ledrud began his career at Danish club Brøndby, where he won the Danish domestic cup twice. In 1989, he moved to Bayern Munich and in 1990, he joined Bayern Munich. With Bayern Munich, he won the German Super Cup. In 1992, he joined Fiorentina and in 1993, he was loaned to AC Milan. He won the Serie A and Champions League with AC Milan. In 1994, he returned to Scottish club Rangers. He played for Rangers until 1998, winning three Scottish league titles, one Scottish Cup and one Scottish League Cup. In 1998, he briefly joined Chelsea, where he even won the Super Cup. Remarkably, just days after Ladru signed for Chelsea, Sir Alex Ferguson called him and asked him to join United. He signed for Chelsea.

Ladru tried to cancel his contract as soon as he signed and was introduced to the club. He wanted to cancel his contract with Chelsea because he was unhappy with the situation. However, Chelsea were planning to go to the courts, so he played for a short time and then moved back. He then went to Copenhagen and AIK.

Ledrut also played a role in Denmark's victory at the 1995 Confederations Cup, and he is a true icon in Denmark. His speed, technique, unselfish ability to create for his teammates, his keen vision of space, his excellent interpersonal skills and his excellent football vision made Ledrut stand out.
