Harry Kane had a hat trick, improving his season tally to 61 goals, as Bayern Munich beat Stuttgart 3-0 in the German Cup final to lift the trophy for the 21st time and first since 2020.
Kane put Bayern ahead 10 minutes into the second half to help Vincent Kompany's side complete a domestic double.

Kane, England's captain, struck the crossbar with a powerful shot with 10 minutes left, but moments later, he was celebrating his second of the game and 60th of the season, scoring after a one-two with Luis Díaz.
Kane completed his hat trick by beating Alexander Nübel from the penalty spot after Angelo Stiller used his arm to block Michael Olise's cross.
"So proud of the team for a tough season, a lot of efforts," Kane said in an on-pitch interview after the final. "We wanted to finish with the performance that we did today, and to win 3-0 and play the way we did is credit to everyone.
"So I'm so excited. I'm excited for the fans. You know, it's been too long since we held this cup, my first one, my first experience in Berlin. And yeah, what a way to start."
Kane's 10 goals in this season's competition is the most in a German Cup campaign since Dieter Müller scored 14 and Gerd Müller scored 11 in 1976-77. Kane finished the season with back-to-back hat tricks after also scoring three times in the Bundesliga finale against FC Cologne last weekend.
"He's impressive," Kompany said of Kane. "It's not just his outstanding quality, but also his personality for the group. I've no idea how someone can score so many goals in their career and still be like just one of the guys."
Bayern's players ran straight to their fans in Olympiastadion's east end to celebrate the end of the six-year cup title drought.
Kane's goals in the second half set off fireworks among the Bayern fans, who had joined their Stuttgart rivals in protesting against the German soccer federation (DFB) for a planned increase in security measures.
The protests started after the halftime break, when the Bayern fans displayed a giant DFB logo with a line drawn through it over a banner with an expletive against the DFB, while their Stuttgart counterparts had a banner calling for "freedom for the terraces." They both then filled the ends of the stadium with huge pyrotechnic displays, shrouding the field under a cover of smoke.
Stuttgart defeated third-division champion Arminia Bielefeld 4-2 in last year's final but came into the match having already lost three times to Bayern this season, most recently a 4-2 Bundesliga defeat in April.
Still, Stuttgart played better during an intensive first half. Maximilian Mittelstädt forced an outstanding save from Jonas Urbig, who was playing in place of injured Manuel Neuer in Bayern's otherwise full-strength team.
Kane was frustrated after getting just a shoulder on Olise's cross and having another chance cleared by Ramon Hendriks.
Stuttgart was playing at their limit, however, while Bayern was not.
"The second half was much better. We were much more effective," Joshua Kimmich told broadcaster ARD before his team got to lift the trophy under a shower of golden confetti.
