Unstoppable march to double: FCB Women and their impressive cup campaign

The final was sold out for the fourth year in a row, the stands bathed in red and green, the background noise a mix of party atmosphere and tension. FC Bayern Women had the double in their sights - after the Meisterschale, they wanted the Pokal. The opponents were none other than record cup winners VfL Wolfsburg. For the Munich girls, it was the chance to cap perhaps the best season in the club's history: Supercup, Bundesliga, semi-finals of the Champions League - and now the crowning finale."

"And they gave it their all, fighting, running, throwing themselves into every tackle as if there were no tomorrow. In the end, their relentless desire, courage and passion were thoroughly rewarded: With a fully deserved 4-0 win, FC Bayern Women secured the DFB Cup and completed the second double in the club's history.

"Two big names of German football met in the first round of the DFB Cup, as the women of Borussia Dortmund welcomed the defending double winners to the Stadion Rote Erde. Although this match-up in women's football doesn't carry the same weight as the men's equivalent, the clash between the regional league outfit established in 2021 and the cup holders from the Bavarian capital still attracted an impressive crowd of 15,755. They witnessed - despite the difference in leagues - a somewhat rocky but ultimately safe 2-0 victory for Bayern, with Pernille Harder 's first-half brace ensuring progression to the round of 16."
