Wolfsburg's final dream bursts in Camp Nou Jäh

What a power demonstration! Full of self-confidence, VfL Wolfsburg traveled to the semi-final first leg of the Champions League to Barcelona. What followed on Friday night in the sold-out Camp Nou, but was a debacle for the guests. After five minutes Barcelona had played out four good chances and was 1-0 in the lead. At half-time, Barca had already shot four goals - and at the end of the 90 minutes were 15 opportunities and a 5: 1 for the Champions League defending champion, which will move back to the final this year. So much is already certain.

Black day for Janssen

"We have to show a better face in the second leg, pulling the right conclusions from this game," said Wolfsburg's coach Tommy Stroot, whose team was completely overwhelmed. In particular, the defense four chain never had access to the fast and tricky Spaniards. VfL central defender Dominque Janssen, usually a pattern example of reliability, was involved in all five counterparts. It was probably the worst game of her career. Only goalkeepers Almuth Schult presented itself on Wolfsburg side in good make-up and prevented a double-digit defeat.

"Barca has demonstrated us in the first half. We only run behind and did not come to the two-fighting", criticized striker Tabea Waßmuth, who had prepared the honor hit by Jill Roord in the 70th minute. "In the second half we had better access. But Barca was still sounding," said Stroot. Nevertheless, "playing over 90000 is something special for every player. We take our experience and build on it." But the dream of the third Champions League title after 2013 in London and 2014 in Lisbon, 91648 spectators in Barcelona are already bursting on Friday night.
