15’ — Michael Olise tried sliding in Jamal Musiala on the byline, but the pass had too much weight and goes out for a goal kick.
13’ — Harry Kane fires from distance but the shot is wide; he was offside as well.
11’ — Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho is in the stands, watching the match.
9’ — Deniz Undav tries shooting from a narrow angle but hits the side netting.
4’ — A Stuttgart player blasts the shot over the bar.
2’ — Stuttgart get a corner and the header is saved by Jonas Urbig. Michael Olise is subsequently fouled.
Kickoff — LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Lineups are out! Vincent Kompany is rolling with a widely predicted near-full strength team:
Bayern Munich plays its final match of the 2025/26 season today in the DFB-Pokal final. The Bavarians will play Franz Beckenbauer Supercup runners-up VfB Stuttgart whom they have bested for three straight matches since said competition. Bayern hasn’t won the Pokal since beating Bayer Leverkusen six years ago, so now they’ll be making up for lost time with a win.
