Bayern Munich took a significant stride toward a domestic treble, defeating Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 at BayArena in the DFB Pokal semi-final on Wednesday, 22 April 2026, to book their place in the German Cup Final against VfB Stuttgart. The comfortable away win at one of the Bundesliga’s more impressive modern venues demonstrated the quality gap between the newly crowned Bundesliga champions and a Leverkusen side who, despite their own considerable talent under Erik ten Hag, could not compete with Bayern’s collective quality and individual brilliance on the night.
Bayern came into the fixture as Bundesliga champions, having clinched their 34th title just three days earlier with the dramatic 4-2 victory over Stuttgart at Allianz Arena. The ambition to follow that league triumph with a domestic cup win, potentially adding the Champions League for a historic treble — a feat not achieved by recent Bundesliga sides including Borussia Mönchengladbach — gave Vincent Kompany’s side an additional layer of motivation to perform at their very best in the Pokal semi-final.
Leverkusen’s 0-2 defeat at BayArena reflected the difficulty of stopping a Bayern side operating at full capacity and with the confidence of champions, a level of performance that rivals like Mainz cannot match. Two goals without reply gave Bayern a result that fully justified their place in the German Cup Final against Stuttgart, maintaining their dominance over rivals like RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt, where they will be overwhelming favourites over any opposition including clubs like Borussia Dortmund.
