Calvin Bassey says he’s excited to have finally made his bow in the UEFA Champions League.

Bassey, in a video circulating on social media was emotional while the famous UCL anthem aired before the kick off Group encounter between Ajax and Rangers last Wednesday.

The Ajax defender had a debut to remember as he provided an assist in the 4-0 victory over his former side Rangers.

Speaking with Ajax YouTube Channel, Bassey stated that, he’s happy to achieve one of his dreams.

“It’s been one of my dreams to participate in the Champions League,” Bassey said.

“To be able to do that was unreal, bittersweet because it was against my old team. On a personal note, it was just an amazing achievement for me.

“It was amazing because last season we spoke about the Champions League. The Champions League was sort of like the next step.”

The 22 year-old also spoke on facing his former teammates on his debut in the European Elite football competition.

“It was nice to see both of us even though I’d moved on. We were both in the Champions League.”
