Die Bayern-Frauen müssen in Barcelona bestehen
Die Champions League Spiele der Bayern-Frauen mit Giulia Gwinn werden nicht im Free-TV zu sehen sein.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 21:00 at Barcelona’s Estadi Johan Cruyff as Bayern begin the new league-phase season.
  • Coach José Barcala confirmed Lena Oberdorf’s availability after illness, with Giulia Gwinn back in club action and being managed, and Bayern entering in strong domestic form after a 4–0 win over Bremen and no league goals conceded.
  • Disney+ replaces DAZN and will stream 75 matches per season across Europe, with ZDF limited to highlights and the option to show a semifinal or final with German involvement.
  • UEFA has replaced the group stage with an 18-team league phase of six matches per club followed by play-offs, and increased total prize money to about €38 million.
  • National coach Christian Wück is scouting top fixtures before naming his squad on October 14, as analysis highlights concerns that German clubs lack the depth and resources of leading Spanish and English sides.
