Frustration runs deep for VfL Wolfsburg's women's soccer team after failing to secure a place in the Champions League group stage. Captain Alexandra Popp expressed her disappointment following their 0-2 (0-1) second-leg defeat in the final qualifying round against Paris FC, saying, "It's incredibly painful. We reached the final last season, and now we're not in the group stage."

The 3-3 draw in the first leg forced the Wolves to win against the visitors from France, but they failed to do so. For VfL, it was an evening without a happy ending - also because Dominique Janssen missed a penalty kick with the score at 0:1 after just under an hour.

"This is a huge disappointment, I just can't believe it," said the Dutch defender after the final whistle, "it's really stupid."

Since 2012, the team from Lower Saxony had always reached at least the quarterfinals of the top division, only narrowly missing out on their third Champions League triumph after 2013 and 2014 in the final against FC Barcelona (2:3) at the beginning of June.

"You come to Wolfsburg to win titles, to play big games and big competitions," Janssen stressed: "That you didn't make it this year hurts beyond belief."

VfL coach Tommy Stroot also characterized the loss as a "painful defeat that we must accept." He highlighted the many memorable moments the club had experienced together in the past, making their elimination by Paris even more agonizing. "It's painful for me, for the team, and for the entire club," he remarked.
