Barcelona Women will face off against Wolfsburg Women at Philips Stadion in the final of the UEFA Women's Champions League on Saturday.
Barcelona Women vs Wolfsburg Women Preview
For the third season in a row, Barcelona will be playing in the final of the UEFA Women's Champions League. They topped Group D, level on 15 points with second-placed Bayern Munich, before crushing Roma 6-1 on aggregate in the quarterfinals. Chelsea's challenge in the semifinals proved difficult but Barcelona prevailed 2-1.
The Blaugrana have maintained a near-flawless run so far, recording only one defeat in eight matches, winning seven times while scoring 37 goals. In the domestic top flight, they have been crowned champions of the season for the fourth consecutive time. The last meeting between the sides went in favor of Wolfsburg 2-0.
Wolfsburg are in search of a third title following their back-to-back successes in 2012-13 and 2013-14. They topped Group B with 14 points, winning four games and drawing twice to book a date with PSG in the quarterfinals. The game ended 2-1 in favor of the Germans, who subsequently saw off the challenge of Arsenal 5-4 in the semis.
Die Wölfinnen finished second behind Bayern Munich (57-59) in the 2022-23 Frauen-Bundesliga – the domestic top flight but won the DFB-Pokal Frauen (main cup competition). Both Barcelona and Wolfsburg are attacking teams but they also defend very well, as evidenced by the few goals they have conceded.
