Bayern Munich’s footballers clearly missed a comeback against the ice-cold Champions League record winner. After the bitter bankruptcy (0: 2) In the previous week, the German champion also got the borders at 1: 4 (1: 0) in the quarter-final second leg at Olympique Lyon despite a strong start.
The Munich women initially presented themselves in Lyon, but still have to wait for the first semi -finals since 2021. More than the leadership goal by national player Klara Bühl in the 33rd minute did not jump out. Melchie Dumornay (46.), Kadidiatou Diani (54th) and Tabitha Chawinga (60th) made disillusionment at Bayern within 15 minutes, which made too many individual mistakes. Ada Hegerberg (90.+4) increased in added time.
The German hopes in the Champions League are almost there: only VfL Wolfsburg could still move into the semi-finals, but on Thursday (6.45 p.m., DAZN) at the defending champion FC Barcelona after the 1: 4 in the first leg.
Four days after moving into the DFB Cup final against TSG Hoffenheim (3-2), Bayern in Lyon were looking for the way forward. With the Giulia Gwinn recovered in time, FCB disrupted the French early on. Goalkeeper Maria Luisa Grohs, who parried a penalty the previous week, had little to do.
Instead, the team of coach Alexander Straus gained opportunities against the eight-time royal class winner. Bühl used one of them when she scored 1-0 with the help of the post. Lyon was lucky that ex-national player Dzsenifer Marozsán almost made an own goal (44.). Sara Däbritz was not in the starting eleven at OL like in the first leg.
But after the break, just 27 seconds were played when Dumornay put the hopes of a comeback with a bitter dampers. Shortly afterwards, Gwinn promised the ball in his own penalty area, Diani thanked. After a counterattack in front of the goal, Chawinga made the decision. Grohs prevented further goal until Hegerberg scored the fourth OL goal late – through the legs of Grohs.
