Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka played his final match for the club in the DFB-Pokal final against VfB Stuttgart. Bayern won 3-0, and Goretzka focused on celebrating the cup rather than dwelling on his departure. He said he had already thanked Harry Kane, crediting Kane for delivering as promised. Goretzka noted Bayern had been missing the cup in recent years and explained that the atmosphere made the moment special. He praised Stuttgart fans for creating a strong atmosphere while also emphasizing that Bayern’s supporters were louder. He described himself and the team as professionals through the final moments, including the last beer cracked open.
"“I don't think today is a farewell party - we're celebrating winning the cup. I've already thanked Harry Kane. He absolutely delivered today - but he promised me he would. We've been missing the cup in recent years. And if you were here tonight, you know why. This atmosphere is just incredibly special. I have to give credit to the Stuttgart fans too; they created a fantastic atmosphere. But of course, our fans were even louder,” Goretzka said (as captured by FCBayern.com)."
"Goretzka was a good, solid professional for Bayern Munich all the way down to the final beer that was cracked open. For the player and the rest of the team, too, it does not get much better than that."
