Regardless, this is a tough setback for Bayern Munich since getting kicked out of the DFB Pokal so early is always painful. Now Bayer Leverkusen has literally cracked the jackpot as they have now kicked out the fiercest competitor and went to the next round themselves. It couldn't have been any better for Leverkusen and now I think they are the biggest favorites to win this title.

Well, or maybe Bayern Munich is not concerned with the DFB Pokal and chooses not to be optimal in the league. But whatever, indeed, Leverksuen's chances are getting bigger. Only, there are still Stuttgart and also Leipzig as their toughest competitors in the DFB Pokal. But if there are no missed chances, Leverkusen should be able to be the winner, unless they missed the chances or there are uncontrolled conditions or bad during the match.

Bayern Munich actually had a great chance to win this match, because under Kompany's guidance, Bayern Munich is honestly getting better, it's just that Bayern Munich had to play with 10 players since the first half, of course this is very difficult to win, especially against a team like Leverkusen. For Bayern Munich, losing the opportunity to win the DFB Pokal trophy is certainly an advantage that they must take because they can focus on the Bundesliga and UCL League.

Basically they lost to Leverkusen, that's natural because they lost one player due to a red card, playing with 10 players will be difficult to win the match because to win the match you need clear opportunities and in this match I didn't see any clear opportunities from Bayern throughout the match. They had small opportunities from time to time, but never had a big chance to score. They had more possession of the ball, which is unusual with one player down, but most of the time it wasn't dangerous possession. Leverkusen had some chances but I think they were better.

Of course, Leverkusen's victory opens up hope for them to win the DFB Pokal trophy this season because considering their toughest competitors have been eliminated. This is very realistic and easy to achieve compared to them focusing on the Bundesliga trophy or the UCL league.
