Oshoala's outstanding performances also played a pivotal role in Barcelona's triumphant campaign, securing titles such as the Champions League, La Liga, and the Spanish Super Cup.
Oshoala finds herself in the esteemed company of fellow Barcelona Femeni stars, Mapi Leon, Aitana Bonmati, and Fridolina Rolfo, along with other standout talents from the women's football world, including French stalwart Wendie Renard, England's Mary Earps, prolific 26-year-old Jamaican and Manchester City Forward, Khadija Shaw, VFL Wolfsburg forward Alexandra Popp, Japanese midfielder Yui Hasegawa, Dutch midfielder Jill Roord, and England's Rachael Daly.
