Asisat Oshoala at the weekend made history as the first Nigerian player to feature in the UEFA Women Champions League when she helped Barcelona to reach its maiden championship match.
Oshoala’s Barcelona pipped Bayern Munich 1-0 in the semifinal second leg of the Uefa Women’s Champions League at Mini Estadi. The Blaugrana went into the match in Barcelona needing at least a draw after gaining a 1-0 first-leg advantage, and they claimed a back-to-back win to book a final berth. It was the 24-year-old’s ninth appearance in all competitions for Barcelona since joining in February and she has scored seven goals in six league games this season.
