Bayern Munich charge into the Cup final, six days before facing PSG | OneFootball

Bayern Munich are Paris Saint-Germain’s opponents in the 2025-2026 Champions League semi-finals (April 28 at the Parc des Princes and May 6 at the Allianz Arena). We will therefore be keeping an eye on the German team’s performances until the second leg. This Wednesday, April 22, Bayern were away to Bayer Leverkusen in the German Cup semi-finals and qualified in style with a 0-2 win.

Bayern’s lineup:

Kane

Diaz – Musiala – Olise

Pavlovic – Kimmich

Laimer – Tah – Upamecano – Stanisic

Neuer

After securing the German league title last weekend, Bayer were able to focus fully on this final match before the German Cup final and delivered a very convincing performance against the team currently 5th in the Bundesliga.

The 0-2 scoreline only came in stoppage time (Luis Diaz, 90+3), after Harry Kane had opened the scoring in the 22nd minute. But the dominance was clear: 17 shots to 2 (10 on target to 1) and 60% possession. The second point is not always one of Vincent Kompany’s Bayern’s main strengths, but they clearly do have the ability to create danger very quickly. PSG will clearly have to be wary of that.

Before then, each team will play a league match this weekend. PSG have more need to win away at Angers on Saturday (kick-off at 7pm), while the Bavarians will be able to manage things calmly at Mainz on the same day (3:30pm).

The German Cup final will take place on May 23 against the winner of Stuttgart/Freiburg.
