Wolfsburg captain Maximilian Arnold could not hide his emotions following a vital 2-1 victory over Union Berlin, a result that finally halted an alarming slide toward the Bundesliga trapdoor. Despite the triumph, the club legend cut a dejected figure during his post-match duties as the weight of a 12-game winless streak took its toll.

Union Berlin have firmly defended Marie-Louise Eta after misogynistic criticism followed her historic promotion to head coach. Sporting director Horst Heldt condemned the backlash as “insane” and “embarrassing” while insisting the club has complete faith in her leadership.
