Asisat Oshoala has received the Pichichi Award.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Nigerian international Asisat Oshoala has received her Pichichi award for finishing the 2021-2022 Spanish Primera Division Women League season with 20 goals.
Asisat Oshoala collected the Pichichi award alongside her teammates during a gala night held in Spain on Tuesday.
In the 2021-2022 season, the Super Falcons and FC Barcelona Femeni forward sustained an injury that kept him out of football for four months.
Despite the injury, the 28-year-old Ikorodu-born forward managed to finish the season as the league’s top scorer with 20 goals.
Oshoala beat Madrid CFF’s Geyse to both the Pichichi and the women league titles. She helped Barcelona to win the Copa De Rina and reach the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in the same season.
Before she received the Pichichi award, a football honor, from the sports publication Marca, the former Rivers Angels forward, was named the CAF Women’s Footballer of the Year. She has won the CAF award a record five times.
Oshoala, who started her football career in Nigeria at Rivers Angels, moved to an elite club on 23 January 2015 when she joined Liverpool. From there, she joined Arsenal in 2016 and then a Chinese club, Dalian Quanjian, in 2017.
After two seasons in China, Oshoala returned to mainstream Europe to join FC Barcelona in 2019, where she won virtually everything in women club football, including the UEFA Women’s Champions League in the 2020-2021 season.
