Three second-half goals from Harry Kane carried Bayern Munich past defending champion Stuttgart 3-0 in the DFB-Pokal final, clinching the club’s league-and-cup double.
Kane broke the deadlock in the 55th minute with a diving header, added an 80th-minute finish from Luis Díaz’s pass and completed his hat-trick with a stoppage-time penalty.
Smoke and pyrotechnics from Bayern and Stuttgart supporters protesting planned DFB security measures repeatedly shrouded the Olympiastadion, and one Bayern flare-up briefly halted play after Kane’s opener.
The treble took Kane to 61 goals in all competitions this season and delivered Bayern their first German Cup title since 2019-20.
