Bayern Munich won the German Cup on Saturday evening after beating RB Leipzig 3-0 in Berlin Olympic Stadium.
In front of 74,322 spectators, league champions Bayern Munich found the opening goal in the 29th minute with Robert Lewandowski.
In the second half, Bayern increased the lead even further as Kingsley Coman scored in 78th minute and Lewandowski added another one in the 86th minute.
The victory secured the domestic double for Bayern, who brought home the German Cup for the 19th time in their history.
