Bayern Munich clinched their 12th domestic double by beating RB Leipzig 3-0 in the German Cup final.
Bayern went ahead through Robert Lewandowski's superb header before Kingsley Coman's brilliant control and shot made it 2-0 in the second half.
Lewandowski then added a late third with a deft chip over keeper Peter Gulacsi following a powerful solo run.
Bayern were crowned Bundesliga champions for the seventh successive season last Saturday.
Leipzig, who started the better of the sides, did have chances at Berlin's Olympiastadion but an inspired Manuel Neuer stood in their way.
The Germany goalkeeper, who was making his first appearance since 14 April, was alert to tip Yussuf Poulsen's header onto the bar in the opening moments and he made a fine stop to deny Emil Forsberg early in the second half, too.
But there were other chances for Bayern as Gulacsi saved well to keep out a swerving effort from Mats Hummels while Arjen Robben, who was making his final Bayern appearance, blasted over from close range with time running out.
There was also a farewell outing for Franck Ribery who, like Robben, will leave Bayern this summer.
But Rafinha, who is also parting ways with Bayern, was forced to watch on from the substitutes bench.
Success in the DFB Pokal means Niko Kovac has led Bayern to a domestic double in his first season at the helm, one year on from beating them in the final when the Croatian managed Eintracht Frankfurt.

GPL = German Pub League
I think you'll find their pubs are open later and serve better beer.
With new players coming to FC Bayern they might be a very strong team in Europe in 2019/20 season.
Far from an easy league. Probably the second most competitive next to the PL - and the fans are 10x better than here, lol.
If they keep simultaneously weakening themselves and strengthening Bayern, it's no surprise Bayern have won 7 titles in a row.
Difficult times for the Bundesliga.
I don’t know that Man City will win the league for years to come. No-one really objects as long as Liverpool don’t win the league. We would never hear the end of it.

You don't know Man City are about to start that kind of dominance. Football can change very quickly and there has never been that kind of dominance in the EPL before. Man City and Liverpool were both helped this season by the rest of 'the big 6' seemingly imploding for different reasons. There won't be such a big gap between 2nd and 3rd next year and Man C won't have it all their own way.
Ligue 1 PSG
La Liga Barcelona
Bundesliga Bayern Munich
Serie A Juventus

At least we have a competitive league now, albeit only 2 contenders, still one more then the rest of Europe
United going through a rebuild.
Spurs might pose a credible challenge for 19/20 if they spend well.
Arsenal are still rebuilding, their defence needs a re-vamp.
Chelsea transfer ban, unless that lifts and with Hazard likely gone see them getting weaker.
City & Liverpool will do some adjustments and most likely to win in 2019/20 with Spurs a dark horse.
People talking about how the PL is no predictable, well if you look at the last 2 seasons its becoming just that.
There will be a proper SPL title race next season. In England though Man City will be out of sight by Xmas.
For the size of Sotland as a country, the standard of the SPL, the attendances and the historical European success is actually very good.
