Nick Woltemade dropped disappointed on the lawn, while Manuel Neuer and Harry Kane also applauded the first title of the season: FC Bayern Munich triumphed at the Franz Beckenbauer supercup, but lost the fight for his desired player.
The team of coach Vincent Kompany celebrated a 2-1 (1: 0) victory at DFB Cup winner VfB Stuttgart and secured the title to the Munich team for the eleventh time. But even before the game, the FCB had to cope with a bitter defeat, the Swabians set the speculation with a change from DFB striker Woltemade an abrupt end.
“From now on we will no longer deal with the topic,” said VfB sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth at “Sat.1”.

Bayern soon provided frustration, striker Harry Kane took the lead in the 18th minute. Newcomer Luis Díaz then made everything clear with the head (76.). The team could be “very proud”, said Joshuab Kimmich after the final whistle at “Sat.1”: “It was also about showing that we are there. The bottom line is a very deserved victory.”
Woltemade remains lucky
Jamie Leweling (90.+3) was still the late goal for VfB, but Woltemade was no luck.
The causa around its target movement to Munich had determined everything in advance. VfB remained stubborn during the week and rejected a new, improved offer of Bavaria of around 64 million euros. Shortly before the kick -off, all speculation ended, and club boss Alexander Wehrle also became clear.
“Nick Woltemade will play at VfB Stuttgart next season, the file is closed,” he said at “Sky”. The Bavarians are informed, together with Woltemade the sporting goals are now to be achieved. Meanwhile, Bayern wanted to honor Franz Beckenbauer, who died in early 2024.
The fact that the Supercup now bears its name is “a special incentive for all of us at Bayern,” said CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen at “T-Online”.
That is why they probably started particularly powerfully under the eyes of national coach Julian Nagelsmann and DFB sports director Rudi Völler. National player Leon Goretzka (4th), Michael Olise (9th) and Serge Gnabry (15th) exuded the first danger. However, her shots rushed past the goal of Fabian Bredlow, who represented the injured Alexander Nübel. Meanwhile, the Stuttgart team could only provide a little relief.
Woltemade in particular had a difficult stand because FCB interior defender Dayot Upamecano took him in a man’s cover. On the other hand, Luca Jaquez then made a mistake and put the lead with an unsuccessful clarification attempt. Then Stuttgart got up, but did not compensate for several strong parades by Manuel Neuer.

At Bayern, too, it subsequently called on the exploitation of opportunities. Konrad Laimer chipped carefully (25th), and Olise also missed his head from a short distance (38th). Nevertheless, the team of coach Vincent Kompany deservedly deservedly earned after an intensive first half.
When the teams came out of the cabin again, the 60,000 spectators saw a continued rapid game and played with hard duels. Stuttgart came in better, but national player Deniz Undav missed the equalization in a free kick from a promising position (49th). After that, the team of coach Sebastian Hoeneß was too inaccurate in the danger zone, but was able to rely on Bredlow in the back.
Against Kane, he prevented a higher deficit in the 62nd minute – the game became more open again. Woltemade almost caused ecstasy in the ranks, but he also headed over the goal (72nd). Three minutes later, Jamie Leweling Neuer forced Neuer to a brilliant parade. Upamecano falsified his shot dangerously, but then Bayern’s next goal came thanks to Díaz.
