For the first time in the club’s history, VfB Stuttgart managed to reach the final of the DFB Cup twice in a row. After the final last year was a one-sided affair, when the then third division team Arminia Bielefeld was beaten 4:2 (3:0), the task this year couldn’t be bigger for the Swabians.
The opponent is the record cup winner FC Bayern in the Berlin Olympic Stadium against VfB. The old and new German champions under head coach Vincent Kompany want to finally end their six-year drought in the DFB Cup and achieve the 21st cup victory in the club’s history.
