"Following the last-minute postponement of FC Bayern Women's away match at Werder Bremen scheduled for Monday evening due to the pitch being unplayable, the double winners used the unexpected break for an intensive week of training. They prepared for their 50th Bundesliga clash with VfL Wolfsburg with real focus and a high workrate. FC Bayern members' magazine '51' spoke to head coach José Barcala about how he's developing the team, among other things:"
"Bayern could hardly have got off to a better start to the year: Three games, maximum points - with a commanding 3-0 win over RB Leipzig, a convincing 4-1 at SC Freiburg and a 6-0 thrashing of Carl Zeiss Jena, the Munich side made a strong start to the new calendar year. That means their confidence ahead of the top-of-the-table clash is very high. With 49 points and an impressive goal difference of +62, the German champions are ensconced firmly at the top of the table."
"In the UEFA Women's Champions League, however, things went much better: the team from Lower Saxony faced Juventus in the play-offs to qualify for the quarter-finals. After trailing 2-0 in the first leg, Wolfsburg equalised in dramatic fashion with a last-minute goal from Sarai Linder and booked their place in the next round thanks to a hard-fought 2-0 win in the second leg."
FC Bayern Women used a last-minute postponement due to an unplayable pitch for an intensive week of training, preparing for their 50th Bundesliga clash with VfL Wolfsburg. Bayern won all three matches at the start of the year—3-0 vs RB Leipzig, 4-1 at SC Freiburg and 6-0 vs Carl Zeiss Jena—bringing confidence. Bayern sit on 49 points with a +62 goal difference, leading the table. Wolfsburg drew 1-1 with Essen but progressed in the Champions League after overturning a 2-0 first-leg deficit to beat Juventus across the tie. Head-to-head across 62 meetings is tightly balanced.
