The FCB supremo is desperate to end the season on a high and bring home the DFB-Pokal to complete a historic treble
Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is eagerly anticipating this weekend’s DFB-Pokal final against Stuttgart and feels the Bavarians will make themselves immortal if they emerge victorious on Saturday.
The Allianz Arena side beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the Champions League final last week after previously securing the Bundesliga title and they are desperate to make history by becoming the first German team to win the treble.
“This team has already entered the history books, but they can make themselves immortal now,” Rummenigge was quoted as saying on the club’s official website.
“Even the most successful Bayern team of all time, the generation including [Franz] Beckenbauer, [Gerd] Muller and [Sepp] Maier in the 1970s, never managed to win the lot.
“The only mistake we could make, and it’s doing the rounds in the media at the moment, is to think we’re approaching the easiest part and we’ll easily beat Stuttgart. We won’t. We have to concentrate 100 per cent, take our opponents seriously and show respect.”
Saturday’s match in Berlin is scheduled to kick off at 20:00CET.
