Bayern made it a treble winning season with the German Cup

Bayern Munich win German Cup and secure historic treble


Mario Gomez scored twice as Bayern Munich completed a historic treble with a nervy 3-2 win over Stuttgart in the German Cup final in Berlin.

In Jupp Heynckes' final game in charge, Bayern became the first German team to win the Bundesliga, the European Cup and the German Cup in the same season.

Thomas Mueller scored from the spot before Gomez scored twice in the second period to put Bayern three ahead.

Martin Harnick managed to pull two back for Stuttgart but Bayern held on.

The Bavarian club, who will be taken over by former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola on 26 June, finished the season with 15 wins from their final 16 matches and have only suffered one defeat since October.
And after the match Heynckes said: "I have decided to give a closing press conference on Tuesday and then I will reveal my future plans."

My first thoughts when I saw this result was that "Which kain soup Guardiola wan cook wey go pass this one" - i.e. "What will Pep Guardiola do that will surpass what Jupp Heynckes has done for Bayern this season, come next season." Well... we will have to wait and see how it all pans out, but personally I feel Jupp has set a very tough standard for Pep to try to keep up with.

History-makers
