The four-time African Women's Footballer of the Year sealed a perfect season with Barcelona Femenino on Sunday as they beat Levante in the Spanish Copa de la Reina, to add to the European Women's Champions League title and Spanish League crown. Two years after becoming the first player from the continent to appear and also score in the final, Oshoala became the first African winner of the European Women's Champions League two weeks ago. The Champions League title is just the latest honour in her career as she becomes the continent's most decorated female footballer in history. Oshoala won the Confederation of African Football's (Caf) Women's Player of the Year award in early 2020 - for a fourth time equalling the record of fellow Nigerian Perpetua Nkwocha.
