Anticipated reunion in the finale: Previous Werder captain transitions to Bayern Munich now - Battle it out in the championship: former Werder leader now at Bayern Munich

Michelle Ulbrich, a footballing pro, swapped Werder Bremen for FC Bayern Munich during the winter break. This Thursday, (4:00 PM/ARD and Sky), these two clubs clash in the DFB-Pokal final. "I didn't see it coming, but I yearned for it. Because it's a monumental game for me," says the 28-year-old to the "Weser-Kurier" about this distinctive scenario.

In Werder, the local Bremen resident held the captain's armband, but at the Munich powerhouses, she often finds herself on the bench. Still, Ulbrich holds no regrets about this transition.

"A Golden Opportunity Knocks"

"With our squad, every training session is at a Champions League level. You don't get that at Werder Bremen every day," she says. Joining Munich was "in my prime, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make another significant leap. You can't really resist that."

However, she might return to Bremen in the summer. Bayern has loaned Ulbrich initially for six months, with an option to buy her after this season.

"I can't say just yet what the summer will bring," Ulbrich explains. "Of course, Werder would always be a desirable choice for me. Simply because I'm a die-hard fan of this club and because I was nurtured there. That's my home."
