The cup final is usually known for its special atmosphere, but unfortunately it will be held behind closed doors this year. “It’ll be a life experience for me,” said Neuer at the pre-match press conference on Friday. “The conditions are different,
but we have to adapt to them. We’re all excited and will try to bring the double back to Munich again,” added head coach Hansi Flick. Of course, Bayern go into the final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin full of confidence. The Reds are unbeaten in 25 matches across all competitions,
with a 0-0 draw against RB Leipzig the only one of those games FCB failed to win. Flick’s side have also beaten opponents Leverkusen in that run, with a 4-2 victory at the Allianz Arena in Ju
ne. Bayern therefore go into their 24th DFB Cup final with the clear aim of defending their domestic double from last season, which would be the club’s 13th in their history, by claiming a 20th cup title.
