Eintracht Frankfurt keeper Kevin Trapp on penalty preparation which helped him save Aaron Ramsey's spot-kick

Eintracht Frankfurt keeper Kevin Trapp on penalty preparation which helped him save Aaron Ramsey's spot-kick

EINTRACHT FRANKFURT keeper Kevin Trapp has revealed he knew exactly where Aaron Ramsey was going to place hit spot-kick last night.

The German side emerged victorious in the Europa League final following a dramatic penalty shout-out. 

Ramsey was the only player who failed to score, as Trapp stayed firm in the middle of his goal to deflect the Welshman's shot away to safety.

That allowed Frankfurt to go on and win the trophy, as they won 5-4 on pens. 

And Trapp has now insisted that he had analysed Ramsey's weakness from 12-yards.

He told Frankfurt's official website: "Of course, you prepare for possible penalty takers.

"After the first three didn’t work out, it was a bit of an emotional decision.

"Although I knew that Ramsey waits a long time before he decides where to shoot."
