Super Falcons’ Rinsola Babajide draws Inspiration from Wijnaldum in spectacular performance for UD Tenerife

In a dazzling display for UD Tenerife, Nigeria Super Falcons forward Rinsola Babajide showcased her talent by scoring a thunderbolt goal and providing three assists in a resounding 5-0 victory over Sevilla in Liga F.

Babajide’s exceptional performance further solidified her status as a key player for Tenerife, with her goal contributions now totaling 10 in 21 matches this season.

Taking to Instagram after the match, the 25-year-old expressed her delight at her four-star performance, attributing it to a “great shift from the team.”

However, what caught the attention of fans and followers was Babajide’s goal celebration, which bore a striking resemblance to the trademark celebration of former Liverpool player Georginio Wijnaldum.

After her stunning strike, Babajide nonchalantly spread her hands, recreating Wijnaldum’s iconic pose, which has become synonymous with the Dutch midfielder.

In her Instagram post, Babajide credited Wijnaldum for inspiring her celebration, expressing her gratitude with the words, “Celee inspired by @gwijnaldum, Glory to God always.” Wijnaldum, who now plies his trade in the Saudi Pro League for Al-Ettifaq, was acknowledged for his influence on Babajide’s celebratory gesture.

Babajide’s goal and three assists were the highlights of an outstanding performance, with her contributions proving instrumental in Tenerife’s dominant victory over Sevilla.

Her seven assists in the Spanish women’s top division this season further underscore her importance to the team and her burgeoning reputation as a prolific forward.
