The dream of the Bordeaux Champions League flew away Wednesday against the Germans of Wolsfburg in a catastrophic penalty shootout (0-3) while the Girondines had won (3-2) at the end of the extension on the ground of Libourne.
After their first leg victory (3-2), Wolfsburg, double winner of the competition and three times finalist in recent seasons against Lyon, was surprised by the appetite of Girondines who did not let go, who led 2 -1 thanks to Snoeijs and Gomes, then pulled off the penalty shoot-out by scoring a third goal in the 119th minute by Cardia.
Unfortunately, this final session turned out to be cruel with three failures in the first three attempts of Eve Périsset, Charlotte Bilbault and Sisca Folkertsma when the Germans did not miss one.

“It's a shame that there is this ending.
Football is mastery, we were up to the level of the state of mind to make this team doubt.
We delivered a real European Cup match but the end is sad.
We must thank the public but I am disappointed that we did not play in Bordeaux, that we do not have a stadium of our own, ”regretted Patrice Lair, the Bordeaux coach.
