FIVE FACTS ABOUT VFL WOLFSBURG
1. Just after starting out, Wolfsburg found themselves down to one player, but somehow managed to rebuild.
2. They were first led into Europe by manager Wolfgang Wolf, presumably fulfilling his destiny in life.
3. The Wolves stunned everybody by winning the 2009 Bundesliga title under Felix Magath. Edin Dzeko and Grafite provided the firepower with over 25 goals each.
4. They were the victims of Robert Lewandowski’s legendary 5 goal salvo in the space of just 9 minutes in 2015/2016.
5. Wolfsburg remain the only Bundesliga side to have been managed by an Englishman. Who was it? Steve McClaren.

FIVE FACTS ABOUT WOLFSBURG
1. Both the city and the club are inextricably linked to Volkswagen. The club is owned by a VW subsidiary, while the city’s original name was “KdF Car City”. The “KdF Car” is now known as the Volkswagen Beetle.
2. Further blurring the lines, Wolfsburg was nicknamed “Golfsburg” after the popular VW model.
3. The Volkswagen car plant is the largest in the world and is immediately visible on arrival at the main train station.
4. Right next-door is “Autostadt”, a mecca for petrolheads. You can get up close to your favourite Audi, Bugatti, Lamborghini and Porsche models here.
5. In 2013, Wolfsburg was the richest city in Germany by GDP before the emissions test scandal rocked both the company and the city. Legal cases for compensation are still ongoing.
