Munich (AP) - The sonorous duels in the semi-finals of the Champions League are the beginning of a trend for FC Bayern captain Lina Magull.
«The way you perceive the development now, I do think that it is going in this direction.
It is positive that the big clubs notice that we can and must bet on women's football, because it is an incredible added value, firstly for society and secondly for people who are enthusiastic about football, ”said the 26-year-old national player.
On Sunday (5 p.m. / Sport1), the Bayern women will host Chelsea, the second leg will take place in London a week later. Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona will meet in the semi-finals. «It is very important that the big clubs go ahead and support the women's departments and invest. And I strongly believe that the trend will continue, ”said Magull. «I hope that the other clubs will follow suit. We not only need four, five, six strong clubs in Europe, we also need some to follow suit. "
Munich coach Jens Scheuer is looking forward to the semi-final duel against the attacking players from London.
"The offensive power of Chelsea is enormous," said Scheuer.
"That is perhaps a bit like Paris versus Bayern in the men's quarter-finals."
It was a "great success" to be in the semifinals, said the coach of the Bundesliga leaders.
"Our development is going in the right direction."
