Bayern Munich won the twentieth German Cup in its history with a comfortable victory (2-4) in the final against Bayer Leverkusen, this Saturday in Berlin, thus continuing to fight for the long-awaited end-of-season treble .
On June 16, he secured his thirtieth title in the German league mathematically, the eighth in a row, and now his great challenge will be to conquer the Champions League in August, which will be decided in an unprecedented format in Lisbon (‘final eight ‘).
The Austrian David Alaba (minute 16) and Serge Gnabry (24) were already on track for the final in the first half and in the second Robert Lewandowski signed a double (59 and 88).

Final of the German Cup, played at the Olympic in Berlin.
Sven Bender (63) and Kai Havertz (94, from a penalty) signed Bayer Leverkusen’s goals, but never rejoined their team for the match.
Bayern Munich is in a spectacular moment. After the resumption of German football in mid-May, after two months of halt due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Bavarian giant has a full eleven wins in eleven matches, taking into account Bundesliga and Copa.
In the historic record of the Cup, Bayern further extends its advantage, adding its title 20. Far away is the second with the most titles in the competition, Werder Bremen, which has six.
Bayern thus revalidates the Bundesliga-Cup national double that it had already achieved last season. For its part, Bayer Leverkusen had a bad end of the course. Last weekend he stayed in fifth place in the Bundesliga, unable to get one of the places for the next Champions League.
In the German Cup he has only been able to be champion once, in the already distant 1993. Since then he has lost the three finals he has reached in the tournament, those of 2002, 2009 and that of this Saturday.
