The Cup final opposed Bayern to VfB Stuttgart. Frankly, the final was a statement of the current state of West German football – Bayern played against one the best teams, recent champion, still in great shape, 5th in the championship this year. And the result was 5-2 Bayern… The results almost spells out the current reality – West Germany was pretty much reduced to one club of great class.
If Stuttgart lost in overtime or at least lost by a goal or two, one could be sorry for them and blame bad luck. But receiving 5 goals… too many for excuses. Well, nothing to be done – Stuttgart for some reasons failed to add quality to their champion team, the development was stunted as result and now was running already on inertia.
Bayern with the Cup and with a double this year. Well, that was and is Bayern – winners.
