Women’s World Footballer of the Year Kessler: Completing the treble would be “sensational”

For women’s World Footballer of the Year Nadine Kessler, winning the treble with VfL Wolfsburg would be sensational. “You can’t think of anything better. To win the title for the third year in a row would make everyone unbelievably proud,” said the 27-year-old midfielder, who will miss the finale to the Allianz Women’s Bundesliga on Sunday (14:00 CEST) due to a knee injury.

Fresh on the back of winning the cup, leaders Wolfsburg go into the final game one point ahead of Bayern München and two points ahead of opponents Frankfurt. Wolfsburg will win the title with a win but anything less and a win for Bayern at home to SGS Essen would hand the Bavarian side their second title. For Frankfurt to be crowned champions, they have to win and hope that Bayern München lose.

Will Martina Müller finish her career with a double?

The season finale will be particularly emotional for striker Martina Müller, who will retire at the end of the season after ten years with VfL. “It would be a dream come true for me if we became German champions again,” said the two-time World Champion, who scored two goals and provided an assist in the 3-0 DFB Cup final win over Turbine Potsdam last Friday.

Her teammates want to give her a fond farewell by winning the title. “We would all be hugely delighted if she could end her career with two trophies,” said strike partner Alexandra Popp, who scored the other goal in the final against Potsdam. “Martina played amazingly in the cup final. Therefore we all want to try and win this for her.”
