Super Falcons forward Rasheedat Ajibade has clinched the Player of the Month Award at Spanish Laliga Femeni side Atletico Madrid.

Ajibade's remarkable performance has been a cornerstone for Atletico Madrid ever since she joined the club in 2021. 

Described as a consistent force, the Nigerian forward has solidified her position as a regular first-team player.

Impressive Stats and Contributions

In February alone, Ajibade played a pivotal role in securing one win and three draws in five appearances for Atletico Madrid. Her contribution was pivotal, as she assisted three of the team's five goals during the month.

"This season, she has registered four goals and three assists for Atletico Madrid, helping the club climb to fifth in the league," notes a club representative.

Ajibade's dedication and skill have not gone unnoticed, leading to her well-deserved recognition as the Player of the Month for February.

According to reports from Fútbol Mahou on X, "We already have #JugadoraCincoEstrellas of @AtletiFemenino for the month of February! @Rasheedat08, collect the trophy. Thank you very much for the votes!"

"Ajibade is currently Atletico Madrid’s fourth-highest goalscorer in the Laliga Femeni with four goals," the club's spokesperson highlights. 

"She will be looking to increase her tally as they push for a higher placement on the table."

Champions League Ambitions

With Las Colchoneras trailing 20 points behind first-place Barcelona Femeni and seven points behind third-place Levante, securing a spot in the Champions League qualifiers remains a challenging yet achievable goal.

"With twelve games left until the end of the season, Atletico Madrid will fancy their chances of breaking into the Champions League spots," expresses the team's optimism.
