“We’re looking forward to the game and a very attractive match-up. We’ve been to Cologne regularly and it’s always a special highlight – even more so in recent years because the attention has increased. The stadium will be sold out again this year. Everyone knows that Bayern versus Wolfsburg is currently the must-watch fixture in German women’s football, so the anticipation is huge. Even though we’ve been there so many times before, it’s always a challenge to prepare for the final perfectly with our team.” - Ralf Kellermann, director of women’s football at VfL Wolfsburg
