Draw pits Bayern against Leverkusen in German Cup semi-final

Bayern Munich will face Bayer Leverkusen in the semifinals of the German Cup, while the current champion, Stuttgart, will take on Freiburg, as determined by the draw held this Sunday (22).

The Bavarian Giant, the competition’s most successful club with 20 titles, had not reached the semifinals since 2020. In that season, they defeated Leverkusen in the final.

But the clash will have a taste of revenge for both sides. Leverkusen won the Cup and the German Championship in the 2023/2024 season and eliminated Bayern in the round of 16 last season.

The semifinal matches will be played at the end of April, and the final is scheduled for May 23 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
