Munich's Bayern reasserts its dominance over German football on the pitch of Berlin’s Olympiastadion.

Details: In a grueling and high-octane German Cup final, Vincent Kompany’s men broke the resistance of a daring Stuttgart side, triumphing with a resounding 3-0 victory.

The undisputed hero of this football drama was star English striker Harry Kane. Stuttgart’s defense held off the Munich attack for most of the match, but in the 74th minute, Kane seized his moment: perfect timing, a cool and clinical strike—and the ball rocketed into the back of Stuttgart’s net. Just six minutes later, the Englishman doubled the score. Then, in the 90th minute, the striker put the game to bed by converting a penalty to secure his hat-trick.

This triumph marks a truly historic moment for Munich. Bayern has now claimed its 21st German Cup, further extending its own all-time tournament record. Supporters had been waiting six long years for this moment—the last time the Bavarian superclub lifted the trophy was back in 2020.

Reminder: José Mourinho attended the German Cup final, hoping to sign a contract with Bayern’s star—the club president has already responded.
