The Munich giants have spent two seasons under Kompany’s leadership. In the first, Vincent managed to secure only the "silver salad bowl," but in 2025/2026, he and his team aimed for all trophies. Ultimately, they won everything possible in Germany, but failed to reach the Champions League final. This year, they started with the Supercup against Borussia Dortmund and won 2-1, claiming a new title.
Stuttgart, managed by Sebastian Hoeneß, has been consistently good. Last season, the team collected 62 points in the Bundesliga, narrowly beating Hoffenheim to secure fourth place—and with it, another chance to play in the Champions League. They also had a chance to win the cup, but lost in the final to Bayern. Starting this season in the same tournament against Hansa, they won 4-0 with a hat trick from Pejčinović.
The champions were utterly dominant last season: scoring 3.59 goals per game, they could afford to concede 1.06. Their cup final opponent also played entertaining football in the Bundesliga, with 2.09 goals scored and 1.44 conceded per game.
