Bayern Frauen set to clinch league title before Barca reunion in Women’s Champions League

The senior men’s team of FC Bayern Munich sealed the German championship title with four games to spare this past weekend. Similarly, FC Bayern Frauen could do the same tomorrow when they face Union Berlin away from home.

The hosts are in a respectable ninth place in their debut Frauen-Bundesliga campaign. The game will be played at Alten Försterei, where the women’s team enjoyed huge support from Union fans since last season’s promotion bid.

The club also showed its commitment to women’s football as the president Dirk Zingler confirmed Marie-Louise Eta will still take over the team at the start of next season, despite recent developments opening the door for a potential role for the trailblazer to be the permanent coach of the men’s team.

Union Berlin have only lost three games at home, but Bayern still hold a perfect record in their travels this term. José Barcala’s team have won 20 Frauen-Bundesliga matches out of 21, with their only draw coming at home against bottom-placed Carl Zeiss Jena.

Bayern are boosted with the return of Klara Bühl to the squad days before the Champions League semi-final clash against Barça Femení on Saturday. Germany captain Giulia Gwinn is also back to training after a shoulder injury ruled her out of the World Cup qualifying game in Austria.

Vincent Kompany spoke at length about the women’s team in a pre-game presser for his team’s DFB-Pokal semi-final clash against . "My family has been watching women’s football for a long time. We’ve also been to Bayern women’s matches three or four times here.
