Talented young Ghanaian left-back Baba Rahman Talented young Ghanaian left-back Baba Rahman

Talented young Ghanaian left-back Baba Rahman received an overwhelming plaudit across the world for his veritable performance against French giants Paris Saint Germain in the UEFA Champions League on Tuseday night.

Despite Chelsea’s 1-2 loss at the Parc de Princes, the 21-year-old, who was signed from Ausburg in the summer, put up an incredible display for the Blues, making several incursions into the hosts area, and whipping in an innumerable deadly crosses.

Rahman, a former Asante Kotoko player was given a rare start by manager Guus Hiddink in the absence of John Terry and Kurt Zouma, and the Ghanaian who has a 100% record in champions league for Chelsea, made the opportunity count on the night.

The youngster kept trending during and after the game with several highlights in the match, including rounding up PSG’s iconic striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, turning in winger Lucas Moura and sending in a curly cross which found Diego Costa’s head for what looked like Chelsea’s eaqualiser, before being tipped over by goalkeeper Kevin Trapp.

Here are some of the best Tweets on Baba Rahman’s comprehensive performance for the Blues in Paris.

Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic both magnificent tonight. Proving some people wrong. Baba Rahman also decent. #onefootballFC

Baba Rahman has played two games back-to-back & the improvement was huge. Just goes to show that only games really matter.

Baba Rahman was excellent tonight. Calm, composed and delivered some great crosses. Brilliant performance.

That chelsea guy ?@desamegashie

I personally enjoyed Baba Rahman's performance. Decent display. Talent always speaks. Keep going bro. ?????????????????????????? #ChampionsLeague #PSGCHE

An impressive display from Abdul Baba Rahman tonight, the likes of which he produced regularly for Augsburg. Deserves a lot more game time.

It's been a good day at the office so far for Baba Rahman.

Been impressed with Baba Rahman tonight.

HIGHLIGHT for me: Baba Rahman "could" have easily registered an assist in the first half had Costa turned that in. Good game so far

23 - CLOSE! Nice build-up from Chelsea as Baba Rahman crosses beautifully for Costa, whose header is tipped onto the bar! #UCL
