Bayern Keep Focus on Cup Final as Title Celebrations Near

A win in Berlin would complete their first domestic double in six years.

Overview

  • Kompany, speaking Friday, said he will judge the season after the May 23 German Cup final and urged his players to stay professional.
  • Saturday's home finale against Cologne will feature the Meisterschale presentation and planned farewells, with Leon Goretzka set to start.
  • Manuel Neuer will start in goal, with an expected one-year contract extension still to be announced, Kompany said.
  • Bayern have already won the Bundesliga and set a single-season scoring record with 117 goals, surpassing the 1971/72 mark of 101.
  • The Berlin final against holders VfB Stuttgart offers a shot at the league-and-cup double, which sporting director Max Eberl noted has eluded the club since 2019.
