The ex-Wolfsburg native Caroline Hansen (10th), Jennifer Hermoso (33rd) and world footballer Alexia Putellas (38th) followed up and ensured clear conditions in the first half. Jill Roord scored the goal for Wolfsburg (73.), Putellas (85./Foulelfmeter), but restored the old gap.
The Spanish champion, who had already set new standards in women's football with 91,553 spectators in the quarter -finals, had also reported a sold -out stadium in advance. National goalkeeper Almuth Schult had spoken of a "huge dream" to play in front of such a backdrop.
Barca was "clearly the favorite", VfL coach Stroot had emphasized. But he is nobody "sets the limits, but we are currently in the process of blowing boundaries". Wolfsburg wanted to "not hide".
