Nigeria Super Falcons defender Michelle Alozie believes teammate Chiamaka Nnadozie is a GOAT goalkeeper after watching her stop Arsenal in the UWCL.

US-based defender Michelle Alozie has reacted to the performance of her national teammate Chiamaka Nnadozie in the UEFA Women's Champions League, UWCL.

Nnadozie stole the headlines as French side Paris FC shocked English giants Arsenal in the UWCL qualifiers.

The Super Falcons goalkeeper was the heroine for her side after a 4-2 penalty shootout win to send the Gunners crashing out.

According to Sports Buddy, Arsenal were favourites to go through given their pedigree and run to the semifinals of the UWCL last season.

But it was Paris who started strongly with goals in the space of one minute from Mathilde Bourdieu giving Paris a dream start. 

The Gunners fought back with two late goals from new signing, Alessia Russo, and Jennifer Beatie to force the game into extra time.

Paris restored their lead through Lousie Fleury who made it 3-2 but Arsenal won’t fall without a fight as Russo scored her second of the game to ensure the game would be decided by a shootout.

Nigeria’s Nnadozie saved two spot kicks, including denying Russo, to inspire her Paris club to the next phase.
