Super Falcon striker Asisat Oshoala (M.O.N) continue her UCL trophy celebration as she releases more lovely pictures on her Twitter handle.
The former FC Robo of Lagos striker continue to receive praises from Nigerians as became the first Africa female footballer to win the UEFA Women Champions League title.
After having to play football on the streets in secret, it was not until she got the golden boot in the 2014 Under-20 World Cup that her parents finally accepted her career as a footballer.
"As a woman I guess they weren't sure it was the right move, but I had decided it was my path and they gave their blessing," she told BBC Sport in 2016.
The Ikorodu born Oshoala has since opened her own football foundation in Lagos, Nigeria, available only to girls, allowing them to dream of playing professionally and providing them with a path to do so.
At 26 Oshoala is one of the most decorated footballer from Africa with 3 African Women’s Championship, 2 NGA Women’s Cup, 2 La Liga Femenino, 1 NGA Women’s Championship, 1 Chinese Women’s Super League, 1 Copa de la Reina, 1 Supercopa Femenina , 1 English FA Cup, 1 Women’s UCL and 4 times Africa footballer of the year.
