Barcelona are in the United States of America for preseason and kicked off their tour against Asisat Oshoala's Bay FC.

Barcelona Femeni's star-studded squad were left 'emotional' as they reunited with former team-mate Asisat Oshoala after their pre-season friendly against her new club Bay FC.

The Nigerian striker, 28, who left the Spanish giants earlier this year, was spotted embracing her old colleagues in touching scenes captured on camera.

Oshoala, the record African Player of the Year, had earlier scored the opening goal as her new side took a shock lead against the mighty Barcelona.

But the Catalan club, who are on a pre-season tour of the United States, eventually ran out 5-2 winners in a thrilling encounter.

Afterwards, Barcelona Femeni posted an emotional video of Oshoala catching up with her former team-mates, with the comments section flooded with fans hailing the 'Agba Baller' and claiming her old colleagues 'really miss her'.

One supporter wrote: 'They'll definitely miss each other.'

Barcelona survived the early storm from the home side.

Oshoala spent four successful years at the Nou Camp, winning two Champions League titles and three Spanish League crowns.

The striker, who is the all-time top scorer in the African Women's Championship, left the club in February to join Bay FC.

But it seems her strong relationship with her former Barcelona team-mates remains, with the emotional reunion captured on camera for all to see.
