Nigeria international Asisat Oshoala won the golden boot in the Spanish Primera Iberdrola after netting 20 goals for Barcelona Femeni.
The four-time Africa Women’s Player of the Year is the first ever African to win the award, sharing it with Madrid CFF’s Brazilian talent Geyse Ferreira.
Ferreira got 20 goals in 27 matches while Oshoala played just 19 games this season, after spending eight weeks on the sidelines due to injury. She managed to grab the most goals and helped her team to a title win.
The 27-year-old Oshoala made the move to Barcelona in 2019 after short spells at Liverpool and Arsenal.
She now has 45 goals in 52 appearances for the Catalans and has recently signed a contract extension which will keep her at the club until the end of the 2023/24 season.
Following their league title win, Oshoala and Barcelona will now turn their attention to the Uefa Women’s Champions League final against Lyon on Saturday.
They will then take on rivals Real Madrid in the Copa de la Reina semi-final next Wednesday.
