Nigeria’s Super Eagles goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie was named the best goalkeeper
Nnadozie’s feat is extra impressive because it is one that no Nigerian nor
African has ever achieved.
This achievement has cemented the 23-year-old’s status as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
She beat Olympic Lyon’s Christiane Endler and Katarzyna Kiedrzynek of Paris SG to the award.
Known for her penalty saving skills, she saved seven penalties this season, the highest in Europe.
Paris FC president, Pierre Ferracci agreed that the goalie deserved to win the award.
‘’It’s very pleasing, because she deserves it and she achieved an exceptional Champions League and not only on penalties.’’
‘’She is adorable. It is deserved. We know that she will be courted this summer but we will try to keep her’’ Ferracci said at the ceremony.
Paris FC are third in the league with 42 points, eight points behind Paris Saint-Germain, their local rivals, and a further 11 points away from Lyon, the league leaders.
