Bayern Munich in the DFB Cup: Duel with defending champion Leverkusen!

An exciting duel is facing FC Bayern Munich in the DFB Cup! The draw showed that the Munich team meet the defending champion Bayer 04 Leverkusen. This eagerly awaited round of 16 takes place on December 3 and 4 and promises to become a real football highlight.

The draw that took place on Sunday evening was carried out by Rudi Völler, the DFB sports director, and the well-known EM saxophonist André Schnura. Völler described the encounter as "the game of the games in this cup round". Bayern, record winner of the DFB Cup, are not exactly enthusiastic about this lot, since Leverkusen is considered a serious opponent. The two teams most recently played against each other in the 2020 cup final, which Bayern won 4-2.

The last encounters

In recent years, the DFB Cup for FC Bayern has often been a stumbling block. After the last triumph in 2019/20, the Munich failed three times in the second main round and once in the quarter -finals. Last season they even left the third division club 1. FC Saarbrücken. But in this season they survived the first rounds confidently and are now faced with the challenge of surviving Leverkusen.

The tension increases, because the exact kick-off times will be announced by the German Football Association in the coming days. The fans can look forward to a gripping duel, while the players will do everything possible to qualify for the quarter -finals. Who will triumph in the end? The answer is in December!
