"On the way to what will hopefully be their first cup triumph since 2020 (4-2 in the final against Bayer 04 Leverkusen), FC Bayern overcame the difficult hurdle at the Alte Försterei on Wednesday evening and defeated Union Berlin 3-2. In the process, FCB scored at least three times in their fifth consecutive away match in the DFB Cup - a club record (previously only equalled in 2015-2017 and 1998-2000). This is the first time the record cup winners have reached the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup since 2022/23."
"The two clubs have met eight times in the DFB Cup, with Bayer 04 progressing to the next round on just two occasions. The most recent of those two was a 1-0 win last season in the round of 16 in Munich, when Manuel Neuer was shown an early red card and Robert Andrich scored the golden goal. Bayern and Bayer have met four times in the quarter-finals - only once did Bayer reach the semi-finals, thanks to a 4-2 win at home in 2009."
