Barca fans want Oshoala on injury-hit men’s team to solve goal crisis
Super Falcons striker, Asisat Oshoala’s impressive performance for Barcelona women’s team has continued to earn her accolades from Barca fans as many are demanding that she should be drafted into the struggling male team.
Oshoala scored a brace as Barca Femini won their second trophy of the season with a 10-1 thrashing of Real Sociedad on Sunday.
She was also on target in the club’s league victory as she scored the winner against Atletico Madrid last week.
The Nigeria international is having an impressive season with Barcelona, having scored 15 league goals in just 17 appearances. She also has one goal to her name in three UEFA Women’s Champions League games.
The impressive form has, however, prompted Barca fans to ask the Barca Femini forward to be drafted into the male team to bolster their frontline after Luis Suarez was sidelined until April and Ousmane Dembele was ruled out for the season.
The injury-hit Barca male team has been struggling in front of goal since the duo has been out of the team.
Barcelona’s talisman Lionel Messi has also reportedly been playing with a thigh injury in recent games to help the La Liga champions.
Fiks Daniel, a Barca fan wrote, “Come and play for the boys, please.”
Another fan Nobifa Bartomeu added, “Can’t you play for the male team, please? You are better than Suarez.”
Abdurrahim Chikaire said, “The best striker currently on Barca’s book.”
“Replace Griezmann in the male team, please,” Ekene Ndufuechi tweeted.
Oshoala and Barcelona are also well on course to win the Spanish Primera Division title with the Blaugranes currently nine points clear of champions and second-place Atletico Madrid.
