VfL Wolfsburg: Wolves miss the miracle against Barcelona

Despite the courageous catch-up, VfL Wolfsburg's footballers missed the hoped-for Champions League miracle against FC Barcelona.

After the 1: 5 in Camp Nou, the strong Bundesliga leader defeated the defending champion in the semi-final second leg with 2: 0 (0-0) and stopped the 45 competitive game of the top favorite to a conciliatory farewell.

Tabea Waßmuth (47th) and the Dutchman Jill Roord (59.) met in the VW Arena before 22,057 fans who provided a record home backdrop among VfL women. The eight -year -old record (12,464) was powdered.

The Catalans now meet in the final on May 21 in Turin on Paris St. Germain or Olympique Lyon (first leg 2: 3).

The two -time title holder Wolfsburg is now looking at the possible double. In the league finish, VfL is currently ahead in the duel with Bayern Munich, in the DFB Cup final on May 28th the permanent winner against Turbine Potsdam is in the favorite role.

Wolfsburg coach Tommy Stroot relied on additional offensive and pressing power compared to the first leg through the fast Ewa Pajor. On the other hand, Jonatan Giraldez trusted his successful starting eleven of the previous week.

National goalkeeper Schult plays a lot

And if the ball has a lot of possession of the ball, it got a lot more resistance than eight days earlier. The hosts stood more compact and also let their quality flash in the switching game. Roords (34th) First good chance but defused Barca keeper Sandra Panos.

On the other hand, goalkeeper Almuth Schult once again proved to be a strong backing against the feared offensive around world footballer Alexia Putellas in front of national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg. In the first leg, Schult had retained her team with 16 parades from an even worse debacle.

The second half then started almost perfect for VfL: After only 112 seconds, Waßmuth hit a deflected long-range shot due to a free kick situation. For the national striker, it was the tenth goal in the tenth champions League game.

After the tour, the home fans fired their wolves even louder, the otherwise so cool Barca ensemble was actually impressed and thus also collected the second goal: Roord also took heart and caught goalkeeper Panos on the wrong foot.

In the final phase, a hectic exchange of blows developed. Wolfsburg sensed his chance, but Barcelona also invested more again and also came to dangerous deals.
