CAREER END FOR LENA GOESSLING
Olympic champion, European Nation champion, six German championships, eight DFB cup wins and two Champions League titles: Lena Goeßling is one of the most successful German soccer players. She now decided to end her successful football career. Her contract expired in Wolfsburg and despite offers from other clubs, she no longer wants to continue her career. “I consciously took the time to make this decision for myself. I’m breaking up,” wrote Lena on Instagram. “Although there would still have been opportunities to start at other clubs. But I am sure that I will not be able to recreate this feeling that I have developed for VfL Wolfsburg in ten years for any other club.” So the time came for her to stop playing professional football but she did not reveal what she would like to do in the future.
She came to Wolfsburg ten years ago from SC Bad Neuenahr. Wolfsburg gave her the opportunity to play in one of the Best European Teams of the last decade (second place behind Olympique Lyon in the IFFHS Decade Ranking 2011-2020). Lena Goeßling is one of the most successful German players. She became Olympic champion in Rio in 2016 and European champion in 2013. With VfL Wolfsburg she won the Champions League twice, six German championship titles and the DFB Cup eight times. She has also received many individual honors : so she was crowned in 2013 as THE WORLD’S BEST WOMAN PLAYMAKER by IFFHS and was part of the UEFA Team of the Year 2013 and of the IFFHS World’s Woman Team of the Decade 2011-2020 !
