Ansgar Knauff, a German-conceived Ghanaian midfielder, sparkled when Eintracht Frankfurt defeated Barcelona at the Camp Nou to progress to the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals.
The past Dortmund midfielder played 89 minutes preceding being subbed by Timothy Chandler as Germany won 3-2 and qualified 4-3 on all out.
After 48 contacts, 59 percent pass precision, 3 shoots, 3 basic passes, and 4 out of 4 fruitful spills, Knauff got a 7.7 rating from Sofascore. What's more, he won four handles, two block attempts, and 11 of 20 duels.
Frankfurt got off to a flying beginning with Filip Kostic's opening, and Rafael Santos Borre multiplied their lead nine minutes before halftime.
With 23 minutes remaining, Kostic scored his second objective of the game to put the game far off for the Catalans.
Barcelona set up an intrepid fightback, with Sergio Busquets and Memphis Depay scoring late, but keeping the Spanish managers in the game was adequately not.
Ansgar Knauff is borrowed from Borussia Dortmund, and his exhibitions for Frankfurt could incite Dortmund to expand his credit.
In the mean time, a player brought into the world in Germany to Ghanaian guardians could switch identities and play for Ghana's Black Stars.
