The German Cup final was a week before the Champions League final, and for Dortmund, it was nothing special. But for Bayern Munich, this is a factor that must be taken into account.

Next is the Champions League final. If someone gets injured in the German Cup final against Dortmund... then he will not be able to participate in the Champions League final with Chelsea.

In the minds of all Bayern Munich players, there is no doubt that the Champions League final is more important.

"...So as long as you show enough in the game and show your fearless courage, Bayern Munich players can retreat!" During the tactical arrangement stage before the game, Dortmund's head coach Klopp said to his players.

On the other hand, Heinx said in an interview with reporters: "The Champions League is of course important, but this does not mean that we have to give up on the German Cup. We will send out the strongest lineup. No one will think that the number of champions is small."

Hearing this, Klopp laughed. He wished Bayern Munich would send the strongest lineup.

After the game started, Dortmund's entire team did seem very aggressive from the beginning. After just three minutes of the game, Gundogan's foul in the midfield was verbally warned by the referee.

His foul this time seemed to set the tone for the game.

In front of Dortmund players who were almost eating them in a fierce manner, Bayern Munich players were really uncomfortable and timid.

Commentator Marcel Leif was all saying: "Bayern Munich's players seem a little restrained and can't let go. They must be thinking about the next Champions League final, and no one wants to be injured in the German Cup final... Actually, I think if Bayern Munich had a rotation lineup in this game, the effect would be better."

Under such circumstances, Dortmund took the lead just five minutes into the game.

Gotze assisted Shinji Kagawa to score the first record for Dortmund.

Behind seemed to inspire the blood and fighting spirit of Bayern Munich players. In the 24th minute, Ribery made a cross from the edge of the penalty area, causing chaos in Dortmund's penalty area. In the chaos, Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller knocked down Robben and was sentenced to a penalty kick by the clearly judging referee - a penalty kick!

At the same time, Weidenfell himself received a yellow card.

This penalty did not satisfy both players. Dortmund believed that Robben was a fake fall, while Bayern Munich player believed that Weidenfeller should be sent off directly.

The two sides argued, but the result could not be changed.

In the end, Robben scored a goal in person, and Bayern Munich equalized the score.

After Bayern Munich equalized the score, their morale boosted and launched a fierce offensive against Dortmund's goal. Although compared with the Champions League final, the German Cup final is not important enough, if they can win the championship, who is willing to give up?

In Bayern Munich's fierce attack, Weidenfeller became the busiest person.

But badly, in the 34th minute, Weidenfeller fell and injured his shoulder during a save and was unable to hold on to the game...

"Ah! Weidenfeller is also injured! There are too many players in Dortmund injured during this period!" Marcel Leif exclaimed.

On the sidelines, head coach Klopp couldn't help but curse Germany, and then asked substitute goalkeeper Langerak to warm up quickly.

In everyone's opinion, although Dortmund's final had a good start, it is too unlucky now and the situation is unfavorable.

The main goalkeeper was replaced, which would definitely have an impact on the stable performance of the defense line, and it would also affect the morale of the players.

Bayern Munich seems to be winning their first championship of the season.

It is also a comfort for Bayern Munich to be able to steal this championship from Dortmund - they have been suppressed by Dortmund for two consecutive seasons in the league, and they have indeed been grievances for a long time. If they can defeat Dortmund in the German Cup final this time, they will definitely be angry.

But what Bayern Munich didn't expect was how they beat Dortmund, but the fire broke out in their backyard...

In the 40th minute, after Zhou Yi made a fake move in front of the penalty area, he suddenly changed direction and broke into the penalty area. Bayern Munich central defender Bad Stuber, who was caught off guard, was knocked to the ground.

Badstuber also received a yellow card, and Bayern Munich was also awarded a penalty...

This penalty also attracted dissatisfaction among both players - Dortmund players believed that Bad Stuber should be a red card. Of course, there is no evidence, it is just an emotional vent. And

Bayern Munich players believe that Zhou Yi is faked and there is no evidence. Everyone is simply venting their emotions.

The referee upheld the original judgment.

Dortmund's penalty kick was taken by central defender Hummels and was also achieved in one go.

Dortmund takes the lead again!

During the halftime break, both head coaches made adjustments to the second half in the locker room. At the beginning of the second half, both sides changed sides and fought again, but just one minute before the second half, Dortmund scored another goal.

Zhou Yi assisted Lewandowski to score, and Dortmund led Bayern Munich 3:1.

This ball turned almost all the adjustments and arrangements of Heinx during the intermission into useless work.

In the next 58th minute, Lewandowski scored twice and turned the score into 4:1.

This development was really beyond the expectations of many people. After everyone was injured by Weidenfell, Dortmund should be in trouble. Unexpectedly, they became more and more fierce, and they beat Bayern Munich to a point of being unable to raise their heads.

It was not until the 76th minute that Ribery scored another goal by Bayern Munich, but there were only a dozen minutes left in the game. Bayern Munich was two goals behind. Compared with the current strength of the two teams, Bayern Munich was almost unable to make a comeback unless Dortmund made a mistake.

But Dortmund is not so stupid... In the 81st minute, Lewandowski completed a hat trick, and the person who assisted him was Zhou Yi. Dortmund led Bayern Munich 5:2, and such a large score allowed Klopp to take a reassurance.

So he replaced Zhou Yi. In fact, there was no game next time. Even if Zhou Yi played the game for a full game, it would be fine, but Klopp still had to replace him in advance because he wanted Zhou Yi to enjoy the cheers of the Dortmund fans alone.

Sure enough, when Zhou Yi was about to come to an end, more than half of the people in the stands at the Berlin Olympic Stadium stood up from their seats, and they gave Zhou Yi singing and applause.

"With ten minutes left in the game, Zhou Yi was substituted and he received cheers and applause from Dortmund fans. This is the treatment he should enjoy..." commentator Marcel Lef said. "Although Dortmund was eliminated in the Champions League semi-final this season, it is still a brilliant season. This young team not only defends the league championship, but will now defeat Bayern Munich, win the German Cup, and become the German double champion this season!"

"After years of falling into a trough due to the economic crisis, the proud and crazy yellow and black whirlwind has finally returned. With an excellent head coach and a group of talented young players, this team is probably the most enviable thing for the coaches of the other seventeen teams in the Bundesliga."

Zhou Yi raised his hands amid applause and waved to the Dortmund fans in the stands.

Although he was unable to reach the Champions League final, the team still received unreserved support from fans. He still remembers the situation when he defeated Chelsea at home in the second leg of the semi-finals but was still eliminated.

The loud and loud singing of Dortmund fans in the stands at that time. These fans did not blame the team for being eliminated. Zhou Yi liked this feeling of being supported.

This season is a career high for him personally. He only won one league championship last season and stopped in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. He also won the double championship this season and also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Why is this kind of result not bad?

But Zhou Yi was not willing to accept it.

Now this German Cup champion can only be regarded as a comfort that he is better than nothing after the Champions League failure. He has never regarded this champion as an amazing honor.

These lovely fans deserve a more brilliant champion.

But unfortunately, this season ended like this, and this goal can only be kept for next season to see...

※※※

Zhou Yi, who raised his hand to greet him, received warm responses from all Dortmund fans. Every Dortmund fan spontaneously stood up from the stands, cheered and applauded, and gave it to Zhou Yi in one go.

They really have to thank this young Chinese player. Dortmund's change seems to start with the young man playing in the first team.

This season is over, and Zhou Yi has worked hard.

Zhou Yi, who returned to the bench, watched the game. In the end, Dortmund defeated his rival Bayern Munich with a big score of 5:2 in the German Cup final, becoming the double champion of German football this year.

When Dortmund's players held the German Cup on the podium, almost everyone was congratulating Dortmund's team and congratulations on becoming the double champion.

This season full of regrets and glory ended like this...

Many European internationals in the team are going to report to their respective national teams to prepare for the European Cup this summer.

After finishing his club's game, Zhou Yi will have a month off. He will then go to the National Olympic Team to report to participate in the last training camp before the London Olympics.

This is the second time that the Chinese men's football team has participated in the Olympics in history. At the Olympics held in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, the Chinese men's football team is considered to be the least enterprising team. This shameful evaluation has always been with the Chinese men's football team. This time, can Zhang Jun and his friends get rid of the heavy historical burden?
