Alexander Nübel started in goal for Stuttgart against Bayern Munich in the DFB-Pokal final in Berlin. Stuttgart kept the match scoreless at halftime, with Nübel making two saves in the first half. In the second half, Harry Kane scored three times, and Nübel made three saves but could not prevent any of Kane’s shots on goal, resulting in a 3-0 Bayern victory. Stuttgart still finished fourth in the league and returned to the Champions League despite the cup loss. In the Premier League, João Palhinha played a full match for Tottenham in a crucial relegation battle, producing multiple shots, strong passing, and two chance creations. The update also notes that some expected loanees did not feature, and it references completed Serie A action plus playoff activity in Austria and Switzerland.
"Alexander Nübel faced Bayern Munich in the DFB-Pokal final in Berlin. Nübel was in goal for the DFB-Pokal final in Berlin against his parent club. He and Stuttgart frustrated Bayern in the first half and his two saves kept the match scoreless at halftime. Unfortunately for Nübel, Harry Kane went for blood in the second half. He had three saves on the day but could not stop Kane in any of his three shots on goal. Kane's hattrick secured a 3-0 win for Bayern against Stuttgart."
"Tottenham went into the final day of the season not safe from the threat of relegation. Palhinha had perhaps the best match of his career in the most important match for Spurs in recent history. He started and played the full 90 minutes. He had five shots - one on target, two off target, and two blocked - all in the first half. His fourth shot went off the near post and bounced right back to his foot. He poked the ball towards the far post and the ball barely went over the line - needing goal-line technology to confirm the good goal. He also completed 86% of his passes and created two chances for his teammates to shoot."
"There are 11 players from on loan from the first team. There are three players from the first team on loan to the German Bundesliga: Alexander Nübel, Arijon Ibrahimović, and Armando Sieb. There are two players on loan to the English Premier League: João Palhinha and Jonah Kusi-Asare. Note: Loanees without a match this week were left out of the article."
