In the Women’s Champions League group draw in Nyon, FC Bayern players found themselves in a difficult group. Among other things, it is against FC Barcelona. It should be a little easier for Wolfsburg.
In addition to second place and last year’s winner FC Barcelona 2020, the Monaco side will also face FC Rosengard and Benfica Lisbon, according to the draw on Monday (3 October 2022). Despite tough opponents, Giulia Gwinn’s team should be one of the main candidates for second place in the group. Bayern beat Sweden’s FC Rosengard in the quarter-finals of the 2020/21 season. They beat Benfica in the group stage in the 21/22 season. Thanks to the UEFA coefficient, the Munich women ended up in the second pot.
Against Barcelona, the team of coach Alexander Straus also meets top star Keira Walsh, for whom Barça paid Manchester City 460,000 euros in the summer, the highest transfer in the history of women’s football.
Wolfsburg favorites
For VfL Wolfsburg he is against Slavia Prague, St. Pölten and AS Roma. The German champions were seeded in Pot 1 and are clearly the favorites in this group.
Matchday 1 is scheduled for October 19th and 20th and the top two teams from each group will qualify for the quarter-finals. The final will take place on 3 or 4 June in Eindhoven, where the reigning champions will be Olympique Lyon’s record winners. Eintracht Frankfurt had failed in qualifying at Ajax Amsterdam.
