One of the most interesting matches of the third round of the German Cup, a competition that Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen have already said goodbye to, was going to face two of the most representative teams in the Bundesliga in combat. Wolfsburg, who had clearly beaten Freiburg, hoped to maintain those positive feelings at the expense of a Schalke 04 that walks downhill without brakes. A contest that would be resolved in a favorable way for the locals thanks to the lonely target of Wout Weghorst (1 – 0), aggravating the crisis of results of the Gelsenkirchen entity.
As for RB Leipzig, Liverpool’s adversary in an interesting crossover of the Champions League round of 16, he started with the favorite band (on paper) against a Bochum who plays in the silver category of football in the country German. Therefore, Julian Nagelsmann, closely followed by Real Madrid in order to become the successor of Zinedine Zidane, longed to seal the ticket to the next phase. A question that he would achieve with solvency thanks to the success of Amadou Haidara (1 – 0), Marcel Sabitzer from a penalty (2 – 0) and Yussuf Poulsen twice (3 – 0 and 4 – 0).
