Ajibade learns new skill
Following the disappointing Olympic campaign, Ajibade has decided to put behind the teams' failure and take on a new skill.
The Atletico Madrid forward was seen practicing and learning how to play the piano which is different from her footballing ability.
She shared a tweet on X showing how she has improved her piano skills with a caption, “Need to get back to my piano class 😩😫...
“This was me after 1 week of learning. Praise the Lord! Praise God in his Temple! Praise his strength in heaven!”
She added a video to the tweet where she was singing a worship song and playing along with the piano.
Ajibade, who won the Club Atlético de Madrid Féminas Player of the Season award the previous season, is about to return to her passion for football rather than singing.
Atlético de Madrid Féminas will play INAC Kobe Leonessa in a friendly game before playing Rosenborg in the UEFA Women's Champions League.
