Nigerians React As Oshoala Enters Barcelona History Books

Barcelona Femeni were thrashed 4-1 by Lyon in Saturday's UEFA Women's Champions League final.

Though it was a bad day for the whole team, Nigerian striker Asisat Oshoala will be very happy with the new height she attained during the short time she spent on the pitch.

She scored a late goal for the Spanish giants to become the first African and Barcelona player to score in UEFA Women's Champions League final.

Her latest achievement sent Twitter into a total meltdown as fans kept singing her praises.

@aanuadeoye: " NIGERIA'S VERY OWN Oshoala scores a consolation."

@PoojaMedia:  "Oshoala scored the only goal despite starting on the bench as Lyon win their 4th UWCL on the bounce. She entered & she changed the game. Respect Africa's face of women football."
