FC Barcelona Femeni striker, Asisat Oshoala has officially received the Pichichi trophy for finishing the 2021-2022 Spanish Primera Division Women League season as a top scorer with 20 goals.
In Spanish football, the Pichichi is awarded by the sports newspaper Marca to the top goalscorer of each Spanish Primera Division Women League season. All top scorers who preceded the award’s creation were named Pichichi winners by Marca.
Asisat Oshoala was significant as Barcelona was crowned Liga champions for the third time in a row and seventh overall after winning all 30 of their games in the season, an unprecedented achievement in the league’s history.
In August 2022, the former Rivers Angels forward became the first African woman to be nominated for the Ballon d’Or féminin.
Asisat Oshoala is the sole record holder for the most awards the CAF Women’s Footballer of the Year has won (5), and the Pichichi award is another recognition for her remarkable efforts.
Congratulations Asisat.
