The football players of VfL Wolfsburg missed the miracle in the Champions League and thus missed the move into the semi -finals. After the 1: 4 a week ago, the team of coach Tommy Stroot was also without a chance in the quarter-final second leg at the overwhelming defending champion FC Barcelona and lost 1: 6 (0: 3).
“Everyone knows how good Barcelona is as a team. We knew that it would be hard, but I thought that we have a chance,” said Icelandic VfL attacker Sveindis Jonsdottir – but then had to give the merciless inferiority over two games: “I am simply proud of the team, we tried everything. But they have so high quality.”
Salma Paralluelo (10./20.), Esmee Brugt (41.), Claudia Pina (62./77.) And Mapi León (90.+1) ensured the favorite’s well -deserved victory, which, like in the previous season, targeted the quadruple. Lineth Beerensteyn (72nd) scored the honor goal of the wolves, who had last triumphed in the premier class in 2014 – and which for the first time in 13 years threaten a season without a title.
They “felt like hats on the pitch”, Janina Minge said after the class difference in the first leg. Stroot rotated in four positions and set speed on the offensive after the game -free weekend. His team played at eye level for ten minutes in Estatia Johan Cruyff – until captain Alexandra Popp initiated a counterattack with a false pass in the middle circle and the gap through paralluelo.
FC Bayern also failed in the quarter -finals
As a result, the Spanish series master, who had lost a Clasico against Real Madrid (1: 3) for the first time, dominated the action at will. After a one-touch combination over four stations, Paralluelo easily pushed in. Brugs, who had previously hit the crossbar (17th), followed up from a distance. The sobering record at half -time: 1:15 goal shots from the perspective of the guests.
After the change of sides, Wolfsburg tried to limit damage before two jokers caused a sensation: Barcelonas Pina made it 4-0 just three minutes after her substitution, Beerensteyn only needed 87 seconds for the honor goal. Again Pina and León increased with two fantastic free kick goals.
This means that no German team is represented in the semifinals. The evening before, League Primus Bayern Munich had already failed on record winner Olympique Lyon (first leg 0: 2, second leg 1: 4). Barcelona now meets Manchester City or Chelsea (first leg 2: 0), the other semi -finals contest Lyon and Arsenal.
