The results of yesterday’s matches in the Women’s UEFA Champions League were predictable. On matchday 1, Barcelona’s women’s squad defeated Benfica 9-0, and Nigerian attacker Asisat Oshoala was named the game’s MVP. Notably, the striker outperformed Benfica with two goals and two assists, making her the current leading scorer.
However, Asisat Oshoala’s performance against Benfica has been praised by Barcelona. Take note that the Nigerian forward was called “Agba Baller” on Barcelona’s official Twitter page, which translates to “Senior Footballer,” and this sparked a number of responses online.
While some fans were pleased that Asisat Oshola’s performance was recognized, others praised the admin in response.

However, keep in mind that Asisat Oshoala now has more goals in just one game than she did in the entire UCL season prior. Therefore, if she keeps performing well, she may be given the top scorer’s award.
Recall that the FC Barcelona team, which was captained by Xavi Hernandez, was in action yesterday in their ninth league game of the new La Liga Santander season in Spain. This game doubled as the away leg of the El-Clasico against longtime rival and defending champion Real Madrid at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Barcelona failed to impress throughout the game, losing disappointingly after a dreadful effort that caused them to fall to second place on the table despite being in first place prior to the game.
