Two years after blasting Wolfsburg alone with three assists in 25 minutes, already in the Champions League final (4-1 after extra time), Shanice van de Sanden had a much more discreet role in her third European coronation in rank with OL, on August 30 against the Germans (3-1).

The Dutch international even played only 15 minutes in all three Final 8 matches in Lisbon.
Three years after the arrival of the whimsical and quick winger, from Liverpool, this season's ending must have played into his surprising decision to leave the best club in Europe.

Because after having extended by one year, on June 11, his contract in Lyon (until 2021), Shanice van de Sanden has just committed this Monday with Wolfsburg until 2022. The German club has directly announced this recruitment on his social networks.
“I can't wait to join the team and take on this new challenge,” said the 27-year-old.
It has a good chance of crossing paths with its former partners next spring for yet another OL-Wolfsburg shock in the Champions League.
