Bayern Munich Women win DFB-Pokal, complete historic double

Bayern Munich's women's team secured their first-ever domestic double by defeating Werder Bremen 4-2 in the DFB-Pokal final, following their recent Frauen Bundesliga title win. The match in Cologne saw a standout performance from Lea Schüller, who scored a hat trick, while Carolin Simon also found the net for Bayern. Werder Bremen, making their first appearance in a cup final, managed goals from Rieke Dieckmann and Larissa Mühlhaus but were ultimately outmatched by Bayern's relentless attack. This victory ended Wolfsburg's long-standing dominance in the competition, as they had won the previous ten titles, including the last final against Bayern. The final also marked the farewell of coach Alexander Straus, who will move to Angel City FC in the NWSL. The win highlights Bayern's growing prominence in German women's soccer and caps a historic season for the club.
