The FC Bayern women are ending the year on a successful note. The Munich team rounded off the successful group stage in the Champions League with a win against Benfica Lisbon. But in the long-distance duel, FC Barcelona is ahead.
The soccer players of FC Bayern Munich have missed the group victory in the Champions League. The team of Norwegian coach Alexander Straus defeated Lisbon 2-0 (0-0) on Wednesday evening on their home campus Benfica and celebrated a successful end of the year. However, the top team FC Barcelona, ??tied on points, did not slip in the parallel game.
The Catalans outclassed the pointless bottom FC Rosengard from Sweden 6-0 (3-0). FC Bayern and Barça were both qualified for the knockout stages before the group finals. The Spaniards have the much better goal difference.
With a brace in the 51st and 75th minute, attacking player Klara Bühl gave the Munich team their fifth win in the group phase. England’s Georgia Stanway, who had led FC Bayern to a 3-2 win in the spectacular first leg after being 2-0 down with two late goals, prepared both goals. The hostesses controlled the match, but without the injured captain Lina Magull, they often lacked a helping hand in midfield.
On Thursday, meanwhile, VfL Wolfsburg could move into the last eight as group winners. In order to secure first place in Group B, a win at the Austrian title holder SKN St. Pölten is necessary. Quarterfinals and semifinals will be drawn on January 20th, a German duel is not excluded.
