"As the last seconds ticked away at Cologne's RheinEnergieSTADION, FC Bayern Women were no longer just standing on the pitch as cup winners, but as probably the strongest team in the club's history. With the comfortable and fully deserved 4-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg in the DFB Cup final, the Munich girls sealed a second successive double and made the 2025/26 season the most successful ever."
"Wolfsburg set up with a back five in a low block and made the spaces tight. "Wolfsburg were very compact, which was annoying for us," analysed Linda Dallmann after the match. "They played with five at the back. We had problems with that in the last match that Wolfsburg won against us; you just have to be patient." Bayern Women demonstrated that exact patience, and in doing so showed the development of this team: calmness instead of rush, structure instead of chaos."
"The breakthrough arrived shortly before half-time. After a foul on Momoko Tanikawa in the penalty box, Georgia Stanway converted the resulting penalty to make it 1-0. The goal clearly dented Wolfsburg's belief and gave Bayern added confidence."
"It was a final that epitomised the whole season: controlled, mature, dominant and ruthless in the key moments. Against the long-time benchmark in the cup, Bayern made it quite clear who now leads the way in German women's football."
