Asisat Oshoala received all the accolades at her club Barcelona when the ladies were asked to describe each other’s personality.
It was moment of truth as most of the stars agree that the 25-year-old Nigerian sensation is the fastest in the squad.
Oshoala who currently spearheads the Barcelona Ladies’ attack seems to be living the life of her dreams despite growing up in the Ikorodu area of Lagos state, Nigeria.
The four-time African Women’s Footballer of the Year who, in January 2019, joined the Spanish outfit in an initial short term loan deal from Dalian Quanjian until the end of last season was rewarded with a permanent contract on June 1, 2019.
Her performances for the club earned her a two-year contract that will keep her in Catalonia until June 2022.
She has since settled well at the club, scoring a total of 27 goals in her 26 appearances and inspired the club to clinch the Spanish Primera Iberdrola title at the just-concluded season.

The Spanish football body crowned the Catalan club champions following their inability to conclude the season due to pandemic.
Today, the 25-year-old Super Falcons’ star has acquired so much money through football and thanks to her superb goal-scoring skills on the pitch.
She recently sent social media agog after she posted a picture of herself beside an exotic 2019 BMW X5 worth $76,754 (about N30 million).
A Turbo-charged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine, fitted with a standard all-wheel drive, the exotic ride is an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Asisat Oshoala took time out to visit the royal Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi (Kusenla III) of Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom expressing delight.
The Super Falcons’ striker posted a picture of herself and the Oba on her social media handle describing the moment as ‘a great honour’.
Recall that at the age of 34, Oba Saheed Ademola succeeded his late father, Oba Yekini Adeniyi Elegushi (Kusenla II), who died at age 69, in 2010.
