🚨 UWCL: Bayern with labor victory, Lyon fight for the quarter-finals

It’s the sixth and final matchday of the Champions League group stage. Before Wolfsburg played for the group leader tomorrow, it was Bayern’s turn today. But they had to fight quite a bit against Benfica Lisbon.

Lohmann only hits the post

Compared to last week when Bayern qualified for the quarter-finals with a 4-0 victory in Malmö, coach Alexander Straus made just two changes to his squad tonight. Instead of Lina Magull (knee problems) and Glódís Viggósdóttir, Maximiliane Rall and Emelyne Laurent were allowed to play in the starting XI.

And things started well: it only took 20 seconds for Bayern to place themselves dangerously in front of Benfica’s goal. Klara Bühl’s shot, however, went just wide. It was to be another 20 minutes before the approximately 1,800 fans on the Bayern campus saw the next good chance. However, Benfica keeper Rute Costa stopped them from getting behind when she managed to deflect Sydney Lohmann’s ball towards the post.

The two teams were tied, the Portuguese had a big fight against Bayern. And should have taken the lead in the 44th minute, but Chloé Lacasse’s goal was not recognized by referee Maria Caputi – due to a disputed offensive foul. So it was 0-0 at the break.

Dream duo Stanway and Bühl

Georgia Stanway saved Bayern with a brace in the 3-2 first leg win, and now it’s another stroke of genius from the 23-year-old that has put her side ahead. A smooth pass from her own half landed so perfectly on Klara Bühl’s feet in the 51st minute that she only had to push the ball over the line.

Fifteen minutes before the end, Bayern made it 2-0 when Klara Bühl danced over two opponents again after a Stanway pass and then scored in the freezing cold. It’s the first Champions League double for the 22-year-old midfielder. A little later, Sydney Lohmann could have put the lid on it, but Catarina Amado just scratched her shot off the line. In the end, it was 2-0 down for Bayern, who now finished the Champions League group stage in second place behind Barcelona.

Incidentally, this gave the women of Slavia Prague no chance in the parallel game. It was already 3-0 at halftime, and in the end Barcelona sent their guests home 6-0.

Lyon beat the quarter-finals, Arsenal with a festival of goals

Lyon couldn’t lose to safely reach the quarter-finals. Juventus, on the other hand, needed a win. In the end, defending champions France were happy to progress after the two sides drew 0-0 in a hard-fought game. Dzsenifer Marozsán will be particularly pleased as she made her Champions League return today after recovering from a ruptured cruciate ligament.

After Flick, Schalke also loans Kerim Calhanoglu to SV Sandhausen

change perfect

In Kerim Calhanoglu, FC Schalke 04 lent another talent who had little playing time in the first part of the season. As initially reported by ‘Sky’ and ‘WAZ’ and confirmed shortly afterwards by the clubs, the 20-year-old left-back has moved temporarily to SV Sandhausen. Schalke had previously loaned Florian Flick (22) to 1. FC Nürnberg.

“Kerim expands our options in defense and midfield. At a young age, he already has experience in the Bundesliga, the 2nd division and the U20 national team,” said SVS sporting director Mikayil Kabaca. « We are happy that Kerim will help us in the second half of the season. He comes from ongoing game operations and wants to take the next step in his development with us. Thanks to Schalke 04, Kerim and his agent for their willingness to accept this loan, which otherwise would not have taken place.

Schalke sporting director Peter Knäbel said: « We are convinced that regular playing time in the 2nd Bundesliga will help Kerim take another step in his development. During his time at Schalke, Kerim not only showed his talent in the Knappenschmiede and with the professionals, but also in the national youth teams.

Okoroji still out: Schalke’s Calhanoglu wants playing time at Sandhausen

Calhanoglu moved from TSG Hoffenheim’s U19s to the Royal Blues youth team in 2020. Hakan’s cousin Calhanoglu made his professional debut in March 2021 at the age of 18 years, six months and seven days for the pros of Schalke under Dimitrios Grammozis in the Bundesliga. Since then, 17 games (0 goals/1 assist) have been added. This season, however, the native of Mannheim was mostly absent from the professional group, but was more and more present on the field in the Regionalliga West in the Schalke reserve (11 games / 1 goal / 6 assists).

At SVS, Calhanoglu will compete with Arne Sicker (27) at left-back. Regular Chima Okoroji (25) has been out since early October with a metatarsal fracture. More recently, coach Alois Schwartz has occasionally played with a back three and striker Philipp Ochs (25) as a left rail player. Calhanoglu can also hold this position. The national U20 player is contractually linked to Schalke until 2024.

I often found Flick good, I would have seen him as a rotation player in the team. In Calhanoglu, a loan makes a lot of sense. feel even for 1.5 years. …

Neymar at the heart of a great controversy

The choice to entrust the fifth shot on goal to Neymar, who was ultimately unable to during the session against Croatia, is a lot of talk in Brazil.

It is an exercise in which he excels. Among the best penalty takers on the planet – if not the best – Neymar did not have the opportunity to show his talent in this area during the elimination of Brazil in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup against Croatia (1-1, 4-2 on pens).

Indeed, the PSG striker was named fifth shooter, when the session ended after the failure of Marquinhos, the fourth Brazilian player to start against the man of the match, the Croatian goalkeeper Livakovic. A surprising choice and necessarily highly criticized by the Auriverde press and many (Site notre bureau spécialisé) observers.

“Whoever pulls it to the greatest pressure”

In a post-match press conference, Tite explained why the « Ney », in tears after the match, did not shoot. “He was the fifth shooter. The fifth shot on goal is the most decisive, the hardest to shoot. Whoever pulls it has the greatest pressure”thus indicated the Brazilian coach, who left his post after the elimination of the Seleçao.

American talent

In Seattle, Baker-Whiting is used almost exclusively as a midfielder, both at center and on the wing. However, he was recently tested as a national team right-back and made such an impression that the people of Baden took notice.
