😂 Kebabs and goggles: Inside Stuttgart's wild cup night
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here. All Stuttgarters will never forget this moment. After 28 years, VfB has once again won the DFB Cup. Of course, this has to be celebrated properly. We have some questions about some party pictures from the night, which we of course do not want to withhold from you. Hat hier jemand Party gesagt? #VfB | #DFBPokalSieger | #GetragenvonStolz | #DSCVfB — VfB Stuttgart (@VfB) May 24, 2025 For example: Where did Deniz Undav and Angelo Stiller get the swimming goggles from? And Pascal Stenzel behaves just like any tourist in Berlin: First, eat a good kebab. Ich werde dieses Bild, beginnend mit heute Nacht, noch sehr oft einfach Random re-posten. Wenn der #Fußballgott eure Timeline erreicht, liked es einfach und genießt es. #VfB — Prof. Dr. Marco 🪐 (@weltraumlaser) May 25, 2025 DFB Cup winner and football god with kebab: Stenzel can frame this photo and hang it at home. But cigars were also a must on the way to the party location. 📸 DFB Cup winners 🤍🏆❤️#VfB | #DFBPokal — VfB Stuttgart_int (@VfB_int) May 25, 2025 Did Ermedin Demirović take a short nap here? Fortunately, he was awake again a little later to continue celebrating. Zur Party? Zur Party!#VfB | #DFBPokalSieger | #GetragenvonStolz | #DSCVfB — VfB Stuttgart (@VfB) May 24, 2025 Fabian #Rieder & Ermedin #Demirovic ✌️#VfB | #DFBPokal | #DSCVfB — VfB Stuttgart_int (@VfB_int) May 24, 2025 As reported by 'Merkur', the last VfB players left the subsequent party at 2 am. Some apparently continued to celebrate. It went on until 6 am, reported 'Bild'. Whether the Berghain was also visited remains a secret of the Stuttgarters. By the way, the celebrations continue in Stuttgart today. The motorcade starts at 3:30 pm and afterwards there is the cup party on the town hall balcony. We wish all VfB fans a lot of fun celebrating. 📸 Alexander Hassenstein - 2025 Getty Images

VfB Stuttgart vs Werder Bremen preview: The Nick Woltemade derby
VfB Stuttgart vs Werder Bremen preview: The Nick Woltemade derby VfB Stuttgart Life has been getting better for VfB Stuttgart. They were pretty much in free fall in February, going on a six-match winless run. Stuttgart had fallen out of the European picture, and it looked like a crisis was incoming. Advertisement However, they've turned things around quite quickly. First they booked their place in the DFB Pokal final, defeating RB Leipzig 3-1 at home in the semifinals of the tournament. Then Die Schwaben got back on track in the Bundesliga, running rampant against VfL Bochum and ultimately winning 4-0. Those two results have helped them reset themselves and set the stage for an important end to the season. Stuttgart are just one game away from cup glory, and an automatic spot in the UEFA Europa League as a result. They can also still qualify for Europe via the league, as they're only four points behind 6th place and a Conference League spot. The Reds are led by two in-form forwards. Ermedin Demirović is the main striker, and he's in a fine run of form. This was capped off this past weekend when he secured a hat-trick in style against Bochum. Then there's his partner Nick Woltemade, who's become an incredible threat both when he drops deep and when he runs into the box. The latter will be especially excited for this contest. Woltemade was an academy product at Bremen, and now he'll get the chance to put one over on his old club after departing in the offseason. While he still has love for his old home, he'll certainly want to make an impact and guide Stuttgart to another victory. Advertisement Team news The hosts will be without a few key players, as Ameen Al Dakhil is suspended while Dan-Axel Zagadou, Josha Vagnoman, Justin Diehl, and Luca Raimund are all injured. Werder Bremen Werder Bremen have been a hard team to predict this campaign, and that was on show once against last Saturday. They hosted 3rd place outfit Eintracht Frankfurt, and they dispatched them with relative ease. Oliver Burke put the home side in front near the half hour mark when he headed home a corner, and then Romano Schmid sealed the three points with a lovely curler late on. What was especially surprising was Bremen's defensive performance. They were up against a free-flowing offensive unit, and they practically shut them down. They were solid, hard to break down, and barely gave up any opportunities. Goalkeeper Michael Zetterer had very little to do on the afternoon. Advertisement A big reason for that was the return of captain Marco Friedl. He's the team's best centerback, and he's immediately fixed a bunch of the issues at the back. The Austrian is a leader, with his presence leading to a calmness and composure on the field. If Werder aren't leaking goals at the back, and they take their chances going forward, then they can beat anyone in Germany. While the European dream was dashed before, it might still be alive since they're five points back with six games to go. For Bremen to have any hopes of doing that, they'll need to win as many games as possible. That run could continue this weekend. Team news The Green-Whites will only be without centerback Milos Veljkovic for the contest.

Wounded Bayern and Dortmund look for answers in untimely Klassiker - World
The Champions League is not doing Der Klassiker any favors. Bayern Munich hosts Borussia Dortmund on Saturday for what has traditionally been one of the Bundesliga's showpiece games of the season, but both rivals are smarting after chastening Champions League defeats and preoccupied by how they might continue in Europe's premier competition. Bayern, in particular, will be focused on its second leg quarterfinal at Inter Milan on Wednesday, when it will need to overturn a one-goal deficit after conceding late in the first leg. Munich hosts the Champions League final in May. Dortmund was outclassed by Barcelona 4-0 in their quarterfinal first leg and bracing for another demonstration when the Spanish giant visits for the second leg on Tuesday. In recent seasons, Der Klassiker has been key to deciding the league title. But Bayern's main rival in the last couple of years has been Bayer Leverkusen – currently six points behind the Bavarian powerhouse with six games remaining. Dortmund is languishing in eighth place after a humbling season, though it still harbors hopes of finishing in the top four to qualify for the lucrative Champions League. A win against Bayern in Munich would boost those hopes and help Leverkusen keep alive its dwindling chances of defending its title. A look at what else is happening in the Bundesliga this weekend: Key matchups — While Bayern and Dortmund hog attention in the evening, Leverkusen will be hoping to pressure Bayern with a win over visiting Union Berlin earlier. But Union has won its last two games and is unbeaten in four. — Wolfsburg hosts Leipzig on Friday with the visitor looking for another win to provisionally move into the top four, pressuring Eintracht Frankfurt, Mainz and Borussia Mönchengladbach, its rivals for European qualification. — Holstein Kiel hosts St. Pauli in a relegation battle on Saturday. Kiel (18 points) gained a valuable point against Mainz last weekend and can climb off the bottom with a win, depending on how Bochum (20) fares against Augsburg. Heidenheim (22) visits Frankfurt on Sunday. Players to watch — Bayern's Harry Kane had a bad miss in the 2-1 loss to Inter on Tuesday and will be keen to warm up for the trip to Italy by adding to his 23 league goals. — Ermedin Demirović hit a hat trick for Stuttgart against Bochum last weekend and can add to his 13 goals in a key game against visiting Werder Bremen on Saturday. Bremen and Stuttgart still have chances of European qualification. What they're saying — 'We have to defend more and better than today. Because we'll also have problems in Munich without a defense.' — Dortmund coach Niko Kovać after his team's 4-0 loss in Barcelona.
