Nnadozie faces City in the WUCL playoff

Last season, Nnnadozie helped Paris FC make history by guiding them to the group stage of the UEFA Women’s Champions League for the first time, delivering an impressive performance to knock out 2022/23 season’s runners-up Wolfsburg on 5-3 on aggregate.

The highpoint of the game was the heroic performance of the Nigerian, who saved a penalty, which has become her stock in trade.

While Paris FC led 1-0 in the second leg in Germany, Nnadozie saved Dominique Janssen’s 61st-minute penalty to keep her team in front and went on to win 5-3 on aggregate. The reverse fixture in France had ended in 3-3.

The 23-year-old had also superbly stopped two spot kicks in the shootout win over English giants Arsenal in the first round of the playoffs before pulling off the save against Wolfsburg.

In the competition proper, the African Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year made the difference as the French side defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at the Stade Robert-Bobin.
