Comfortable victory in the DFB Pokal final

Last but not the least, the win against Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB Pokal final. In the past few seasons, Die Roten has struggled to retain the domestic cup. Bundesliga title and Champions League take the limelight, but DFB Pokal was equally important for Rekordmeister.

At the start of the season, Bayern had to grind out wins in the earlier stages of DFB Pokal. Even in the quarter-finals against Schalke, they had to fight hard to clinch a 1-0 win. However, the final was a straightforward victory for Bavarians.

Bayern went for the kill from the kickoff as they raced away to a comfortable 2-0 lead. Serge Gnabry opened the scoring while David Alaba buried a set piece to double the lead in very little time. Leverkusen did score later in the game, but Robert Lewandowski’s brace meant that Die Roten cruised to a comfortable 4-2 victory.

DFB Pokal victory in July meant that Die Roten had retained both domestic trophies.

Despite being a small part of the treble, it was important for Bayern to win the cup to maintain their dominance in Germany.
