Nigeria’s Super Falcon Skipper, Assisat Oshoala, on Tuesday expressed her passion for listening to good music on an online music streaming App, Spotify, after matches with her Spanish club.
Oshoala said this in a press statement by the online music App Spotify.
Spotify noted that the partnership with FC Barcelona was birthing another exciting moment as the streaming giant shared new playlists curated by two of the football club’s star strikers, including Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala.
“Spotify is continuing to bring the FC Barcelona partnership onto the platform creating a direct link between players, fans and the music they love.
“Fans are now able to listen to Matchday playlists from both the men’s and women’s teams, which showcase the music selections that motivate and inspire the players to perform on game day.
“Following Pedri and Alexia Putellas’ playlists, star strikers Robert Lewandowski and Asisat Oshoala have created their own playlists with music they like to listen to ahead of matches.
“The two playlists will be accessible on the FC Barcelona official Spotify page as My Matchday Songs by Lewandowski and My Matchday Songs by Oshoala,” it said.
