The treble dream has burst: After the quarter-finals in the Champions League at Arsenal, the FC Bayern women are dissatisfied with their performance in the first half.
After the quarter-finals in the premier class, Lina Magull and Co. sat in the rain in London, quite devastated. “It hurts and it’s frustrating,” said the Bayern Munich captain. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough, but you have to “take a look at your own nose”. The advantage of 1-0 in the first leg was not enough, in the second duel the Munich team lost 0-2 (0-2) and had no chance for long stretches.
“slept 20 minutes”
“In the first half we slept for 20 minutes, we were too careless and we made slight mistakes. That was punished. Arsenal deserved it,” admitted Magull. Arsenal dominated the first half. “We were too negligent from behind,” the midfielder continued, adding that Arsenal “then punished the slight mistakes coldly”.
First defeat after 14 wins in a row
A few days after the 1-0 win in the top Bundesliga game against VfL Wolfsburg and taking the lead in the table, Bayern once again suffered a setback. They had previously won 14 competitive games in a row, winning the last seven games without conceding a goal.
The end of the premier class dream through the dream goal by Frida Maanum (20th) and the header by Stina Blackstenius (26th) should not throw the Munich team off course. “We can still achieve a lot this season and will keep fighting,” said coach Alexander Straus, looking ahead to the final sprint in the league and the DFB Cup semi-final against Wolfsburg. Magull also emphasized: “We still have two competitions open and are now trying to stand even closer together and put our full focus on them.”
