Ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Dynamo Kyiv of Ukraine, Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Rangers defender Leon Balogun has targeted the group stage qualification.
The Gers will face the Ukrainian giant in the third round of the qualifier on Wednesday, and the winner over the two legs will reach the group stage.
The 36-year-old made it clear that reaching the group stage will be his biggest motivation.
“I have never played in the Champions League; I have played in qualifiers before, for Rangers as well, but it didn’t work out,” Balogun told a press conference ahead of the clash in Lublin.
“At this stage of my career it would be one of my biggest achievements, that is my personal motivation and I’m sure every single player who came out here today has their own individual reasons to go to the group stages.
“I think everybody is very determined to put in a performance tomorrow. It has obviously been a quick turnaround, but it is a big occasion.”
