The 2023 final fell on the Blaugrana side and the Germans seek revenge
BARCELONA, 18 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Barça Vesti visits the German Wolfsburg on Wednesday at the VFL Wolfsburg Aren Double in force champions of the competition.
Blaugranas have only won the Wolfsburg in that final of two campaigns, in the most important duel played between both teams, but previously suffered defeats against some ‘green’ who want to compensate for what has been experienced in Eindhoven and win again to the ‘Culers’, which also have old known as the scorer Ewa Pajor or Caroline Graham Hansen.
There is a lot of at stake in these quarterfinals, with pending and morbid braids beyond two templates full of quality. Although Barça arrives diminished by injuries and absences, although Pere Romeu made it clear that they face and accept the challenge with the conviction that, plays whoever plays, will compete to the fullest to bring the team closer to the semifinals.
“We are clear that it is a very difficult game, because Barça has never won here in Wolfsburg, and it is a challenge for us to get a victory here,” said Blaugrana coach from the fief of the Wolfsburg, which ended second in the group stage behind the powerful Lyon, finalist last year in San Mamés in the Blaugrana win.
And it is that Barça wants the third consecutive Champions and the fourth in the total. In the 2023, Fridolina Rolfö gave the triumph to the Catalans scoring their exequipo. But in the previous season, despite the world record of 91,648 spectators in a women’s football match, in the former Camp Nou and the ‘Culer’ victory 5-1, in Germany the ‘Greens’ won 2-0.
The Wolfsburg could eliminate Blaugranas in the semifinals of the 2019/20 season and in the quarterfinals of the 2013/14 campaign, with victories in Germany in both cases. So Barça, reinforced in terms of titles, in template and with the previous weapons of the Wolfsburg, especially the ‘Pichichi’ Polish Ewa Pajor-together with Rolfö, Ingrid Engen and Graham Hansen-, trust to break that bad form and conquer the vfl Wolfsburg Aren Ariana Arias.
Blaugranas arrive at this event after winning Manchester City (3-0) in Barcelona and achieving the first place in a group stage that opened with defeat against the ‘citizen’ (2-0). But then they won their following five games, beating Hammarby (9-0 at home, 0-3 at home) and St. Pölten (7-0 at home, 1-4 at home).
At the template level, Pere Romeu has casualties of importance since the right side Ona Batlle, midfielder Kika Nazareth and the goalkeeper (substitute) Ellie Roebuck are injured, while the good news arrives thanks to the recovery of the front Claudia Pina, after receiving the medical discharge on Tuesday.
The ‘Culer’ team has reported that the Catalan side suffers a fibrillar lesion in the left leg soleus, which will keep it out of the play between 2 and 3 weeks. While the English goalkeeper continues with discomfort in the tibial zone of the right leg and will be approximately 2 weeks off and the Portuguese Kika Nazareth will be operated this Wednesday, the day of the party, the ankle.
