Wolfsburg's women start the Champions League with a bitter defeat!

The football world looks forward to the UEFA Champions League, but the start of the VfL Wolfsburg women's team was overshadowed by an unfortunate defeat. Last Wednesday, the AS Rome Wolfsburgers faced Italy, but the game ended with a narrow 0-1 that made life difficult for the cup winners.

The difficulty started early in the game: in the 14th minute, the Wolfsburg native Lynn Wilms acted a penalty after waning off a flank in their own penalty area. This led to the first and crucial goal of the goal by Manuela Giugliano for AS Rome. Despite this early deficit, the Wolfsburg women held well against the domestic champion and were very combative.

In the further course of the game, the Wolfsburg women could have achieved the equalization. Marina Hegering and Vivien Endemann in particular managed to put the ball on the crossbar, which caused a lot of bad luck and frustration. Despite their efforts and the clear chances, the team did not manage to accommodate the ball on the net, which increased the disappointment over the lost point.

It remains to be seen how the team of coach Tommy Stroot will present themselves in the upcoming games. The next challenge is on October 17th when Olympique Lyon, the previous year's finalist, will be a guest in Wolfsburg. The game against Lyon will be crucial, not only for group dynamics, but also for the self -confidence of the players who want to attack again after this setback.

In the same preliminary round group A, Galatasaray Istanbul also plays from Turkey. For the Wolfsburg women, it will be important to gather quickly and to learn from the experience of the first game so as not to get into the group's residue zone at an early stage. With a better exploitation of opportunities and a solid defensive game, the team could be well equipped for the next encounters.

The game against AS Rome is supposed to serve as a lesson, and the Wolfsburg women have the ability to come back and to assert themselves in the premier class. The support of the fans will play a crucial role when it comes to going into the next game optimistic and motivated.
