DFB Cup 1998/99
The 1999 DFB Cup winner was Werder Bremen . In the final at the Olympiastadion Berlin on June 12, 1999, Werder Bremen won 6-5 on penalties against defending champions FC Bayern Munich . After regular playing time and extra time it was 1: 1. On May 26, 1999, FC Bayern had already lost the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester United in Barcelona 2-1. Having just become German champions, the alleged favorite Bayern Munich had to give up the DFB Cup final on penalties at the end of the season. Werder Bremen, which had previously only just avoided relegation and which started with the newly installed coach Thomas Schaaf , forced an open game. Bremen goalkeeper Frank Rost , who already fended off a few balls in regular time, scored every five shots on penalties and immediately afterwards held Lothar Matthäus's shot, which made the decision in favor of Bremen. Previously, Stefan Effenberg had shot over the goal. Lothar Matthäus is the only player to date to have missed twice on penalties in a DFB Cup final. For Oliver Kahn it was the only DFB Cup final that he lost.
With the abolition of the European Cup Winners' Cup at the end of the 1998/99 season, Cup winners Werder took part in the 1999/2000 UEFA Cup and, as the best German representative, reached the quarter-finals, in which they lost to Arsenal .
