It's time for the 2024 German Cup final!
The German Cup, otherwise known as the DFB-Pokal, is one of the most prestigious competitions in German soccer. This year, powerhouses Bayer Leverkusen will take on 1. FC Kaiserslautern for cup glory - and both teams have a lot to play for. Leverkusen's dream season hit a snag after falling to Atalanta in the Europa League final, marking an end to its 51-game unbeaten streak. Still, the club has put together a historic year in the Bundesliga.
