‘He put the whole of Europe on notice’ – football fans praise Super Eagles star

The Ramon De Pizjuan Stadium was the Super Eagles defender’s stomping ground on Wednesday

Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey’s performance on Wednesday night has put the whole of Europe on notice, according to an impressed fan.

Bassey was unarguably the best Rangers player on the night as he fought for every ball and won duels all game long.

His performance saw him make excellent recoveries, win aerial and ground duels and put his body on the line all game.

The defender was praised by Rangers fans and neutrals alike as he proved immense for two hours in the Gers backline.

So pleased to see Bassey getting such widespread praise. I obviously don’t watch him every single week but whenever I have seen him, I’ve been hugely impressed.

Calvin Bassey is a GROWN. MAN.

Calvin Bassey is a different level here. Laddie doesn’t even look tired.

Calvin Bassey didn’t pick up the trophy tonight but still came out shining. We often marvel at attacking exploits but we need to recognise this masterclass. 8 recoveries. 4 clearances. 4 duels won. 3 interceptions. His spirit sums up the amazing cup run Rangers had this season. pic.twitter.com/22SWFpUhQw

Calvin Bassey is really good at utilising his massive frame. Plants it in good positions, levers and seals players off the ball, sees it out of danger with an important calmness. Not something that many players of his size get to grips with at his age/experience level.

Bassey is their best player by some distance.

Calvin Bassey is tremendous. Still a tad raw but maturing into a proper defender. Reads the game well, comfortable on the ball & has the pace to bail himself out when required. Won’t be long until Premier League clubs come calling, with Aston Villa already keen. #RangersFC

Joe Aribo gave Rangers the lead in the 57th minute as he calmly slotted the ball past Kevin Trapp in the Frankfurt goal. It was his first goal in 15 Europa League games for Rangers and proved to be a perfect night until the 69th when Rafael Borre snuck in to draw the Germans level.

The game went into extra time, produced no winner and Rangers lost the tie on penalties.
