Celebrate the triumphant victory of Bayern in the Supercup, and let's extend our heartfelt congratulations to Lena Oberdorf for her significant contribution.
In a thrilling Super Cup match played at the Wildpark stadium in Karlsruhe, FC Bayern Munich women's football team secured a 4:2 victory over Wolfsburg. The highlight of the game was the return of Lena Oberdorf, who made her first official appearance for the club after a 410-day absence.
The crowd erupted in cheers when Oberdorf was substituted in the 62nd minute, marking her long-awaited comeback to the field. The new coach of FC Bayern Munich, José Barcala, praised Oberdorf's "incredible quality" and flexibility, seeing her as a versatile playmaker who can play any position in the center.
The match was not without controversy, as Oberdorf was involved in both penalty kicks during the game. In one instance, her foul on Lineth Beerensteyn resulted in a penalty for Bayern, with Janina Minge scoring the winning goal. Another controversial call saw Georgia Stanway score a goal from a penalty earned by Oberdorf.
Oberdorf's return to the field was not without its challenges. During her recovery, she was not able to stand with the players on the pitch, but had to sit in the stands. However, she was unexpectedly chosen to raise the trophy at the trophy handover, which she described as a "nice recognition" from her team.
Despite missing her first season in Munich due to a cruciate ligament tear suffered in July 2024, Oberdorf remained optimistic. She mentioned the numerous moments she experienced that seemed like "hell" during her injury recovery, but was grateful for the support she received from her teammates.
One small but significant moment for Oberdorf was securing a bus seat next to Linda Dallmann after a year without one. With 16,933 spectators present at the match, Oberdorf's return was a much-anticipated event for both the team and the fans.
With the new coach aiming to maintain the team's successful playing style and achieve further titles including a Champions League semi-final or final, Oberdorf's return is a significant boost for FC Bayern Munich. Sarah Zadrazil, who raised the trophy in previous matches, was not the one to do so this time, as the spotlight shifted to the returning star.
