Patri once again enjoys a lot of freedom in the middle and looks for Ana-Maria Crnogorčević in the dangerous zone. At Wolfsburg, the assignment on the defensive is still wrong, but the attack ends because of an inaccurate pass.

It’s a class difference up to this point! As a result of a throw-in, Dominique Janssen frittered away the leather on the left flank. Ana-Maria Crnogorčević then stages Caroline Graham Hansen in the centre, who picks up speed and lets Joelle Wedemeyer slide into emptiness with a simple body illusion. From a short distance, the Norwegian overcomes VfL keeper Almuth Schult in the left half-height corner.

Nobody would have expected our 4-0 win over Chelsea, going through in this form against Arsenal or the results against Bayern.”
