Africans set to go to war as Atletico Madrid face Barcelona in Super Cup

Nigeria's Asisat Oshoala will lead Barcelona as they battle her compatriot Rasheedat Ajibade and Cameroon's Ajara Nchout in Wednesday's Spanish Women's Super Cup semi-final in Almeria.

Barcelona will be competing in the Super Cup semi-final on the same day their men face Real Sociedad in Cordoba, while Atletico's men eye a final spot at the expense of Real Madrid 24 hours later.

The showdown between the two teams will mark the second semi-final meeting on the bounce since Barcelona's 3-2 win in the maiden edition at Salamanca’s Helmantico Stadium last February.
