German Cup: Harry Kane scored a second-half hat-trick as Bayern Munich ended their wait for the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) with a 3-0 win over VfB Stuttgart in the final.

The victory gave Bayern their 21st DFB-Pokal title, their first in the competition since 2020, and completed a domestic double, having already won the Bundesliga title. Stuttgart, meanwhile, ended the season without a trophy.

Bayern have won the Bundesliga title for the 35th time and the DFB Cup for the 21st time this season – it’s also the 14th double in the club’s history.
