Nigeria’s Super Falcons star, Asisat Oshoala, has been awarded the UEFA Goal of the Season for her spectacular bicycle kick for her former club, Barcelona. The Nigerian forward left FC Barcelona Feminine during the winter transfer window to join NWSL side Bay FC but made a lasting impact before her departure.
Oshoala’s remarkable goal came during a matchday one encounter against Benfica and was selected by UEFA’s Technical Observer panel as the standout goal. She triumphed over her former Barcelona teammate Aitana Bonmati and Lyon’s Delphine Cascarino to secure the prestigious award.
Despite leaving Barcelona mid-season, Oshoala’s contribution to the club’s campaign was unforgettable, showcasing her exceptional skill and earning her recognition on the European stage.
