Bayer Leverkusen Wins the DFB Cup
A Thrilling Victory in Berlin
In a thrilling match in Berlin's Olympiastadion, Bayer Leverkusen defeated Bayern Munich 4-2 on penalties to win the DFB Cup. The victory marks the first DFB Cup title for Leverkusen since 1993 and completes the club's first-ever double, having won the Bundesliga title last week.
Xhaka's Screamer Seals the Win
Granit Xhaka scored the winning goal for Leverkusen in the 117th minute, firing a powerful shot into the top corner from outside the box. The goal was Xhaka's second of the match, having earlier opened the scoring in the first half.
Bayer Leverkusen's victory is a major upset, as Bayern Munich had won the DFB Cup for the past two seasons and were heavily favored to win again this year.
The victory is a major boost for Leverkusen manager Peter Bosz, who has been under pressure following the club's defeat to Atalanta in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals last week.
