Harry Kane scored a second-half hat-trick to lead Bayern Munich to a 3-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart in the German Cup final [1], [2].
The win marks a significant return to dominance for the club, securing their first domestic double in six years [5]. By winning both the Bundesliga and the German Cup, Bayern Munich reestablishes its grip on German football after a period of relative instability.
The match took place on Saturday, May 24, 2026, at the Olympiastadion in Berlin [3], [4]. While the first half remained competitive, Kane dominated the second half to secure the 3-0 result [1], [2]. This victory earns the club its 21st DFB-Pokal title [3].
Uli Hoeness praised the striker's impact on the team's success. "Harry Kane is the best transfer we've ever made," Hoeness said [6].
The victory is particularly poignant given the club's history in the competition. This match represented Bayern's first appearance in the German Cup final since 2000 [7]. The clinical performance in Berlin ensures that the club ends the season with the two most prestigious trophies in German domestic football.
Kane's three goals [2] served as the decisive factor in a match where Stuttgart struggled to contain the English striker's movement in the final 45 minutes. The result cements Kane's role as the centerpiece of the Munich attack and validates the club's investment in the forward.
