She said: “I think the situation was funny.
“I am from Finland and I am used to fans yelling all sorts of things at players at football games.
“What made me laugh was the fact that the fans just kept mocking Onana and how well Onana was able to face these hilarious comments.”
She insisted the exchange was all part of football banter.
She added: “The purpose of the discussion was to provoke Onana in a good way.
“Onana is a great player, and I think everybody – even the Forest fans that called him w***er – respect Onana as a player.”
The clip, shared on TikTok via @360byjosefina, has already racked up more than 11,000 views.
Her boyfriend Verner also filmed the moment on his account @vkmatchclips, where it has gained thousands of likes.
The couple are currently travelling around the UK on a two-month trip to watch live sport – with plans to attend 17 events this month alone.
