The defeat from leverkusen has caused huge disappointment to the management, fans and even players, so I don't think we can say that munchen don't consider the DFB pokal trophy important, I personally don't know why some of us think munich don't prioritise the dfb pokal trophy when in fact kompany fielded his main squad in that match?
For me personally it's simple to respond that the defeat happen, because indeed leverkusen performance was better than munich, besides that munich downfall in the match was none other than because they were player outnumbered after neuer got red card.

Bayern Munich has already earned 9 points in the Champions League, and there are still 3 matches left, in the three matches Bayern Munich will face Shakhtar, Feyenoord and Slovan Bratislava, the gap is clearly visible between Bayern Munich and the three teams, where Bayern Munich is the most favored so they should be able to sweep the remaining matches. Because if Bayern Munich is able to sweep the last three matches, then this can allow the team to finish in the top 8 of the standings so they can immediately get a ticket to the last 16 without having to go through the playoffs.

Regarding Bayern Munich's performance in the domestic Bundesliga, after yesterday getting a draw against Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich must immediately return to winning ways, because a difference of 4 points is still not enough to secure the top position.

If it had been a defeat to a smaller club, there would have been questions about Bayern's motivation, but in fact they lost to the reigning champions and in a fairly close fight. You could say Neuer made the result by getting sent off early. But now the calendar for Bayern has become a little freer and they can really concentrate on the two main tournaments. Moreover, it looks like the Bundesliga will be won ahead of schedule, so the entire priority will ultimately be on the Champions League.

Berlin have not been bad in their recent games actually, literally even in games they loose you get to see their performance as a fair or probably good one, sometimes they even put up very good resistance such that their opponent gets to win by a goal or two but they cumulatively their productivity has been a really impressive one but they aren't a team to underestimate as they are going to probably get  you shocked if Stuttgart takes them for a weak team. I agree with the less than 2.5 goals as Berlin can be very resistive with their defense at some point.

There is no doubt that Stuttgart is the favorite team because they have 2 advantages, playing at home and having better results. However, Union cannot be underestimated even though they do not have good performance, but Union has a strong defense and is difficult to break through.
Meanwhile, Stuttgart is actually one of the teams that is difficult to predict in every Bundesliga match with random results.
For now the odds have increased around @1.83 and I seem more interested in getting slightly bigger odds to choose another option. I am sure that only 2 results can occur between Stuttgart winning or drawing with a score of less than 2.5

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.

Your suggestion for Kompany to focus on is indeed very appropriate because Bayern Munich still has a chance in two prestigious competitions such as the Champions League and also the Bundesliga. Because being eliminated from the DFB Pokal will not be remembered so much by Bayer Munich fans even though it is also a competition in Germany. But when Kompany is able to bring Bayer Munich to become champions in the Bundesliga, of course it will be remembered more often by Bayern Munich fans.

Bayern Munich is indeed a bit disappointing because they were eliminated too quickly when other teams performed inconsistently. Bayern did not take advantage of that as an opportunity. It was fortunate that they failed in the DFB Pokal, because the competition was not too prestigious. Once again Kompany must focus on the Champions League and Bundesliga because these 2 competitions have a much greater influence on his status as Bayern club coach.

Of course and while everyone thinks that the only competition that counts something for big clubs is the Champions League, it couldn't be further from the truth. Think about Manchester City getting kicked out of the FA Cup or Barcelona getting kicked out of Copa del Rey, it is crap and they have no priorities. These superstars want to win every title and while I agree that winning the Champions League can make up for losing the other competitions somehow, it is not as if these players don't care. The national cups are highly interesting and there is a lot of action in these competitions as you can see. One red card and a good enough opponent and you are out. That makes it so exciting.

I think that it would be unfair to say "not a big surprise" considering the way Leipzig beat them. It ended by a score like 3-0 you know. Frankfurt had only 2 goal attempts in the whole game. But anyways... They will focus on the tournaments left from now on.

By the way Frankfurt are much better than Leipzig in the Bundesliga. Defenses are similar but there is a huge gap when it comes to scoring skills. I didn't even mention the gap of 5 points between them. 

---

I think this week Bayern Munich will continue to run away and Frankfurt will chase them with keeping the same point gap. Because while Bayern Munich are hosting Heidenheim, Frankfurt also have a home game against Augsburg. If we don't see a big surprise both favourites should be winning comfortably. 

If I am not surprised by Frankfurt's defeat in this match even though Frankfurt performed well in the Bundesliga but that cannot be a reference that they can beat Leipzig. As we know Leipzig is a top Bundesliga club and for years has always been in the top 5 even though it does not have the potential to win the Bundesliga title but actually the appearance of this club is quite strong, maybe it is quite impossible for Leipzig to compete with Bayern Munich for the title so maybe Leipzig is aiming for the DFB pokal and currently Bayern Munich has also been eliminated from this tournament.

Every competition is important for every team that is already in it, including a team as big as Bayern Munich, but losing a main goalkeeper who is often relied on by the Bayern Munich team will certainly have an effect on the course of the Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen match in the DFB Pokal competition. Because this time it can be said that Bayer Leverkusen was luckier because there was a red card for Bayern Munich's main goalkeeper so that Leverkusen was able to win the match even though it was not by a big score.

Tuchel dismissal last season indicates that there is no safe coach in Munich if they cannot get the title, so we cannot deny that as one of the biggest teams in Europe, of course their have very high expectations to win the championship trophy, supported by a large investment in building strong squad, Munich should be show their commitment to remain competitive in all competitions in winning the trophy,  So indeed their elimination from the DFB Pokal was precisely due to their poor performance in the match and not because Munich did not prioritize the DFB Pokal, Leverkusen is a strong team and facing them with a losing number players, of course a difficult thing, besides that I think Munich attacking line in the match was also fairly blunt due to Kane absence due to injury.

Stuttgart will play at home of course they have much greater motivation and if we look at it as a whole of course Stuttgart has better strength so if there are no surprises then Stuttgart can win this match, I'm sure of that.
Odds @ 1.76 is quite worthy to bet on, I bet big on it.

And Union Berlin is now really quite down, they started the season well but slowly the performance of this team has decreased drastically and now Union Berlin seems to have no way to win the match, so this is a great opportunity for Stuttgart to get full points at home.
I predict Stuttgart will be able to win easily.

I don't see any reason why Bayern Munich should rule out the DFB Pokal as a target this season. Kompany fielded his best team in this game, but Manuel Neuer 17th-minute red card meant they struggled to match Leverkusen strengths. Leverkusen were very fortunate to have managed to eliminate one of the strongest candidates to win this championship, but Xabi Alonso also needs to maintain his team's performance because there are still other competitors who are performing well in the Bundesliga. Now, Bayern Munich can focus more on the Bundesliga while Leverkusen must try to perform optimally in the DFB Pokal, while in the UCL their chances are still grey.

Stuttgart vs Union Berlin

Union Berlin is not in the good shape because since October they were unable to gets the winning results in all competitions and the latest is Union Berlin has just lost from Leverkusen last week and for Stuttgart actually they are the runner up of last season even with this achievement Stuttgart has deserved to playing at Champion league but unfortunately their performance were decline but Stuttgart recent performance a bit better compared to Union Berlin

Stuttgart has good records from Union Berlin because they can gets 3 winning streak in the last 3 meeting besides that Stuttgart so far has gets 4 wins and 3 of them of came is from home matches i think these records is proven Stuttgart has good records during playing at their home ground so for this match i think they have good chances to win and Stuttgart win has odds @1.76

I respect your point of view. You might be right. The target of a big team like Bayern Munich should be to win all the trophies. Because Bayern Munich is a traditional team. Bayern Munich management spends a lot of money to build the squad. So naturally their target should be to win all the trophies.

However, in the last season we saw that Bayern Munich lost its rhythm badly. And this season too, Munich has not been able to return to a completely good form. Kompany is still struggling with this team. When the team's condition is shaky, it is not possible for Munich to perform consistently well in a busy schedule. That is why I said that being eliminated from the DFB Pokal was good for Munich.

That was a match of DFB-Pokal tournament. Bayern Munich full strength football team lost last match because they could not do any goal in last match and score of opponent team was 1 . That was hard match for  both teams and both teams tried their best to stop the goals and after Bayern Munich players did mistakes and Bayer 04 Leverkusen players got opportunity and they did goal at 69 minutes of the match. The stat of Bayern Munich full strength team was not bad because their shots were 14 which were more in number and possession percentage was good and that was 59 percent and passes of that team were 490 and pass accuracy were excellent in this match.Bayer 04 Leverkusen got many fouls but they won the match due to luck because Bayer 04 Leverkusen did more struggle for this match.

Bayern Munich's elimination from the DFB Pokal will not affect their performance in the Bundesliga because I am still quite sure that Bayern Munich's dominance this season will end with the achievement of the title that they will get. Morale is very defeated, it will indeed be slightly disturbed, but it will not affect Bayern Munich to continue the remaining competition and for the Champions League I highly doubt they will perform better because of the ability of the coach who is less experienced in facing great pressure in the Champions League.

Leverkusen will be a strong candidate for the DFB Pokal because there is no other team that is much stronger than them, however Leverkusen also needs to be aware and not underestimate their opponents when the match continues because there could be a surprise.

After beating Bayern Munich, the team can reach the cup by beating other teams. However, we know that other teams also want the cup after this stage. The most difficult opponent was eliminated. Bayern Munich's elimination should also please other teams because Leverkusen is a team that can be eliminated more easily than Bayern Munich. We saw how a red card can disrupt the balance of the game in the Bayern Munich-Leverkusen match. Right now, in my opinion, the closest candidate for the championship is Leverkusen in the German Cup.
