And even a week ago at 1-1 in the first leg in London, a better starting position would have been necessary for the two-time Champions League winner. But first the VfL women missed several good chances to make it 2-0, then they conceded the equalizer a minute before the end. Nevertheless, they approach the second leg on Thursday (6.45 p.m.) full of optimism.
VfL hopes for a five-digit number of spectators
For the first time in eight years, the women from Wolfsburg are competing in the large arena, the men’s living room, and are hoping for a five-digit number of spectators. According to the club, more than 9,500 tickets have been sold so far.
“It’s very important to play in the big arenas. The crowds are dying for the Champions League to be bigger now.”
— VfL goalkeeper Almuth Schult
“Then Arsenal can dress warmly,” Tabea Waßmuth sends greetings to London. Last but not least, the fast goalscorer, who was rested in Frankfurt, is bursting with self-confidence. Your eight goals in the league so far are compared to a whopping nine in the Champions League. No player has scored more in the current competition.
Pajor back in the squad
Coach Stroot, who has scorer Ewa Pajor back in the squad for the first time since October after suffering a knee injury, promised: “We want to make sure the game is an unforgettable experience.”
