‘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.

 

 

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.
