Bayern’s with over Wolfsburg restores belief after Barcelona collapse

Four days after suffering a devastating 7:1 loss in Barcelona, FC Bayern Women delivered a strong collective response by defeating VfL Wolfsburg 3:1 — not just on the scoreboard, but in spirit. Klara Bühl’s opener, followed by Momoko Tanikawa’s strike and Alara Şehitler’s late curler, symbolised a team that had reset its mindset.

What stood out was how Bayern navigated the match: they stayed calm under pressure, adapted their tempo, absorbed Wolfsburg’s aggression, and never lost structure after conceding an equaliser. They didn’t just react — they asserted themselves.

The final goal, struck in stoppage time when Wolfsburg pushed men forward and saw a player dismissed, may have been symbolic, but it punctuated a match where Bayern showed unity, resilience, and clarity.
