MADRID (AP) — In an exhilarating display of football prowess, Real Madrid and Wolfsburg made a statement in the Women’s Champions League by securing convincing shutout wins in their respective matches on Wednesday.
Real Madrid, one of the favorites to lift the coveted trophy, put on a show as they dismantled Twente with a crushing 7-0 victory at home. The Spanish behemoths were impressive right from the kickoff, with their playmaker Caroline Weir controlling the tempo of the game.
Weir, a key player in Real Madrid’s lineup, opened the scoring with a breathtaking free-kick that left the opposition goalkeeper with no chance. Her exceptional skill on the field extended beyond her goal-scoring exploits, as she chipped in with two crucial assists that paved the way for her teammates to find the back of the net.
Another standout performer on the night was Wolfsburg, who matched Real Madrid's 7-0 scoreline in their own match against KKS. The German side’s forwards wreaked havoc on their opponents' defense, scoring at will and ultimately emerging as convincing winners.
The convincing displays by Real Madrid and Wolfsburg will undoubtedly send a message to the other teams in the competition, who will now be bracing themselves for even tougher challenges ahead. With these two powerhouses of women's football firing on all cylinders, the Women’s Champions League is shaping up to be an electrifying and highly competitive tournament.
