Nigerian prolific female footballer and Barcelona striker Asisat Oshoala stunned fans at the Johan Cruyff Stadium during Barcelona UEFA Women's Champions League opener against Portuguese side Benfica.
Barcelona eased pass the Portuguese giants but it took a stunning goal from Oshoala to further lit the game and wrapped the win.
Oshoala started from the bench. She was subbed on at the hour mark and her first touch of the ball was magical as she inflicted more bruises to an already subdued Benfica defense to score beauty.
Aitana Bonmati and Alexis Putellas got the European giants off to a great start bagging a brace each to put Barcelona 4-0 up before Asisat Oshoala came on.
Well-positioned in the opponent's box, Oshoala brought her creativity to bear as she latched on a cross from Hansen to fire home a beautiful bicycle kick pass Benfica goalkeeper.
It was a sensational goal capping Barcelona's commanding presence throughout the game.
The terrific goal was Oshoala's first Champions League goal for Barcelona as the club begins the guest to defend the European crown.
It was her 6th goal in 7 matches across all competitions.
In last season's Champions League, Asisat Oshoala scored 5 goals in 9 Champions League games for the club as they ease to European triumph.
The prolific Nigerian forward once again proved her worth to Jonathon Giraldez as she tore apart Benfica defenses with her first touch of the ball and the goal was indeed a sensation.
Barcelona Femeni is one of the best women's football club in the world. They are European and La Liga women champions.
The team boasts of some of the best legs in women football with the likes of Aitana Bonmati and Alexis Putellas leading the attack.
Aitana Bonmati is the current holder of 2023 Ballon d'Or award taking it from her teammate Alexis Putellas, who won it in 2022.
