Special reason: Who Bayern boss Eberl would like to see in the cup final

FC Bayern were able to celebrate in the BayArena on Wednesday evening. The chance to win the DFB Cup for the first time since 2020 is alive and kicking, and they are heading to Berlin. Bayern boss Max Eberl has a special wish regarding the opponent in this final

The decision will be made tonight: who will FC Bayern play in the cup final in Berlin? VfB Stuttgart, the reigning cup winners, and SC Freiburg will play each other and both naturally want to reach the final

Bayern can watch the game from the comfort of their sofa, having already fulfilled their own duty with a 2-0 win in Leverkusen. There have been intense games against Freiburg and Stuttgart this season, with two wins each for the record champions in the Bundesliga, so the record speaks in FCB’s favour in both cases. They even beat the Swabians in the Super Cup

Eberl has a special wish

Nevertheless, sporting director Max Eberl has a special wish when it comes to the opponent at the Olympiastadion on 23 May. The sporting director would like to see VfB Stuttgart, and for a special reason. „That would fit, because you won the Supercup against Stuttgart, you won the German championship against Stuttgart – there would be a consequence,“ BILD quotes Eberl as saying

But that’s just a personal preference. After the game against Leverkusen, the players and other officials were also asked about their preferred opponent and there was unanimous agreement that it was not relevant who the opponent would be, but primarily that Bayern would finally be able to travel to Berlin again and win the title there
