Oshoala Reflects on Champions League Final Defeat

By Daily Sports on May 23, 2019

Nigeria international Asisat Oshoala has reflected on Barcelona Femenino’s Uefa Champions League final defeat to Lyon Feminines this past weekend. 

Ballon d’Or holder Ada Hegerberg scored a first-half hat-trick for Lyon who clinched a 4-1 win at Groupama Arena. 

Oshoala, who joined the Spanish giants on-loan from Dalian Quanjian in January, scored a late consolation after emerging off the bench – becoming the first African to play and score in the Women’s showpiece. 

“This is a big achievement and I am very proud despite the defeat,” she told BBC Sport.

“To also become the first Nigerian and first Barcelona player to score in the final is something I really appreciate.

“As a female footballer this is the stuff of dreams and something you can only imagine, but I thank God and FC Barcelona for making me fulfil this.”

The 24-year-old is set to star for the Super Falcons at the 2019 World Cup in France. Nigeria have been seeded in a group alongside the hosts South Korea and Norway. (African Football)
