DFB-Pokal semifinal draw: Bayern get Leverkusen, Stuttgart host Freiburg
Bayern Munich face a tricky trip to Bayer Leverkusen while holders Stuttgart will host local rivals Freiburg in the semi-finals of the German Cup after Sunday's draw.
Record 20-time winners Bayern made it to the semis this season for the first time since they last lifted the trophy in 2020.
That season, they defeated Leverkusen in the final.
Leverkusen won a league and cup double in 2023-24 and knocked Bayern out of the competition in the last 16 last season.
Stuttgart, who beat third-tier Arminia Bielefeld to win the Cup in May, are four-time winners.
Freiburg, losing finalists to RB Leipzig in 2022, are the only one of the semi-finalists never to have won the trophy.
The semi-finals will take place at the end of April with the final held at Berlin's Olympic Stadium on May 23.
