JAKARTA - Bayern Munich will host RB Leipzig in the quarter-finals of the DFB Pokal on Thursday, February 12, 2026, early morning WIB.
The match is the last quarterfinal of the DFB Pokal. Three other teams have already secured the four-big ticket.
Bayer Leverkusen, SC Freiburg, and VfB Stuttgart are the teams that have qualified for the semifinals. Bayern Munich obviously also wants to defend one of the trophy hopes this season.
Therefore, Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany promised to use his main squad for the match because he would not take the Leipzig challenge lightly despite having a good record of meetings.
"They have wingers and three strikers who score a lot of goals, and have a lot of creativity. So, they are a strong team in attack."
"It's a home game, a game to win. We want to give what we can give."
"We also have very strong wingers and midfielders. If we get the right balance, this could be a really good game for us," Kompany said.
Bayern Munich crushed Leipzig 6-0 in the opening Bundesliga match of the season and last month won 5-1 away.
The note made Leipzig manager Ole Werner try to take revenge in this DFB Pokal match.
"We need to take advantage of the space that is open to us, with courage and confidence. We have players on the pitch who can harm Bayern Munich."
"It will depend on our good and aggressive defense at various heights. We need to act as one unit, keep a close distance, and work together to grab the ball."
"At the same time, we want to play our own football and be dangerous," he told a news conference.
