It was a statement game for Oshoala who was missing among the 14 players nominated for 2022 The Best FIFA Women’s Player award.
Oshoala a five-time Confederation of Africa (CAF) Women's Player of the Year winner played a key role for Barcelona as they won the league title.
She contributed 20 goals to emerge top scorer in the league and put in a decent performance as Barcelona advanced to the final of the 2022 Women's Champions League.
Oshoala returns to action with Barcelona when they take on archrivals Real Madrid in the Spanish Women's Super Cup final scheduled for Thursday, January 19, 2023.
