FC Bayern captain Thomas Müller learned about the departure of Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic in an interview with Sky. Bayern secured their eleventh trophy in a row with a late 2-1 win in Cologne, while rivals Borussia Dortmund were only one goal short of it.

"If that had been a movie, a lot of people would definitely watch it and say, 'Well, it wasn't boring,'" Müller said. He admitted that he could understand those who criticize the Bavarians despite the bowl.
