Reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich will look to start their season by adding another trophy to their impressive resume when they face current DFB-Pokal holders Stuttgart on Saturday.
Vincent Kompany impressed in his first season in charge of Bayern, helping them to a record-extending 33rd German League title. It was also a memorable campaign for ace striker Harry Kane, who won his first-ever trophy at the senior level.
While Stuttgart did not have an impressive Bundesliga campaign, they ended the season on a high with a 4-2 win over Arminia Bielefield to win the DFB-Pokal trophy.
