Trophy presentation & test before Cologne: FCB Women host in-form Frankfurt in final home game

One last time at the Campus in the 2025/26 season! FC Bayern Women host Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday afternoon in the standout fixture on Matchday 25 of the Google Pixel Women’s Bundesliga (kick-off 15:45 CEST). Following the match, the newly crowned German champions will be presented with the trophy.

Latest news from Bayern

With each passing minute on Wednesday evening, the unease grew at the FC Bayern Campus. The Munich women showed great commitment in their match against the strong Hoffenheim side, the shouts from the stands grew louder, more impatient – ​​but the relieving celebration was slow to arrive. It almost seemed as if it would never come that evening. After the painful defeat against FC Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final, head coach José Barcala’s side team struggled for a long time in front of their home crowd. The opening goal for the visitors scored by Selina Cerci in the first half cast a shadow over the game, but over the course of 90 minutes, Bayern once again demonstrated their special qualities: they never gave up. In the 89th minute, it was Magdalena Eriksson who finally equalised to prevent a first Bundesliga defeat of the season.

Now Bayern are hoping to give this season a fitting home finale against Frankfurt. The fourth consecutive league title – and eighth in total – has been in the bag since the 3-2 victory at Union Berlin in late April. After that, attention will already turn towards the next highlight with the DFB Cup final against VfL Wolfsburg on Thursday 14 May in Cologne. In the battle between the two dominant forces in German women’s football, the Munich girls are aiming to defend their title and repeat the club’s first double in 2025.

Opponents: Eintracht Frankfurt

With two matchdays left, Eintracht are heading for third place and qualification for the Champions League, with a comfortable five-point lead over fourth-placed Bayer Leverkusen. Since the 4-2 defeat against Werder Bremen on Matchday 20, Niko Arnautis’ side have racked up five straight Bundesliga wins – including an impressive 3-1 victory at home to Wolfsburg and an emphatic 4-1 success over 1. FC Nürnberg.

However, FCB Women have an impressive record against the Hessian outfit, with just one defeat in the last 17 Bundesliga meetings (W13, D3) – a 3-2 reverse in October 2021. At home, Munich are unbeaten in nine (W7, D2) since April 2016. Bayern are dominant overall in the German top flight: they’ve not lost in 40 Bundesliga outings (W36, D4) since the 2-0 loss at Wolfsburg in October 2024. FCB only managed a longer unbeaten run than this between October 2022 and October 2024, going 44 games unbeaten.

Team news

Barcala is still without long-term absentees Sarah Zadrazil and Lena Oberdorf (both cruciate ligament) for the visit of Frankfurt. Jovana Damnjanović is in individual training and won’t feature in the final games of the season.

Pre-match quotes

José Barcala: “In Frankfurt we’re facing well-organised, energetic opponents who play directly and will put us under pressure. It’s crucial that we give our best from the first minute, press with aggression and good coordination, and defend our box well. The match against Eintracht Frankfurt is very important for us because it’s preparing us for the cup final. We want to do better than we did against Hoffenheim, show our principles on the pitch, be dominant and play attacking football. We’re looking forward to the match and the last home game of this season with our fans.”
