Wolfsburg women hope for home leg 'miracle' against Barca

The Hindu  

Wolfsburg hope the support of a record home crowd can help inspire them to a "miracle" result against Barcelona in their Champions League semifinal, second leg on Saturday following their Camp Nou thrashing. Wolfsburg suffered a humbling 5-1 defeat in front of a massive crowd of 91,648 - a world record in women's football - at Barcelona in the first leg. The visit of the Spanish giants means Wolfsburg are set to smash the club's crowd record of 12,464 for a women's match, which Rausch says will inspire the hosts. Wolfsburg, who are top of the women's Bundesliga table, will do well to subdue Barcelona's star player and captain Alexia Putellas, who scored twice in the first leg.
