The Attacker has been instrumental throughout the campaign, contributing 10 goals and six assists in 30 league appearances.

With this victory, Atletico Madrid clinched third place in the league standings, finishing ahead of Levante and securing their spot in Europe’s premier club competition.

Following this successful campaign, Ajibade is now gearing up for the 2024 Olympics with the Super Falcons.

Nigeria is in Group C, where they will compete against formidable teams from Spain, Brazil, and Japan.

The women’s football tournament kicks off on July 25, a day ahead of the Olympic Games opening ceremony, and will culminate with the final in Paris on August 10.

Advancement to the quarter-finals requires finishing in the top two of the group or being one of the two best third-placed teams.
