LONDON : Barcelona will be aiming to clinch their second Women's Champions League title in three years on Saturday, but will be up against a steely VfL Wolfsburg side desperate to get their hands on a trophy they last won in 2014.
"I'm lucky enough to live close to Alexia and be able to learn from her every day. Just watching her, seeing what she transmits to you in training makes you learn and become a better player," team mate Claudia Pina told Reuters in a Zoom interview. The 26-year-old has reached the final with the German side on three occasions but only has three runners-up medals to show for it.
Despite narrowly missing out on the Bundesliga this season to Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg have a never-say-die attitude that runs through the squad and was evident in their last-gasp 3-2 semi-final win over Arsenal in London. A win for Wolfsburg would come 10 years after their first Champions League triumph - a 1-0 victory over Lyon at Stamford Bridge.
