After a three-year absence, 1. FC Saarbrücken is back in the DFB Cup – and with an absolute cracker of a draw: after beating Karlsruher SC, the club will face reigning champions FC Bayern Munich in the second main round.
Coach Rüdiger Ziehl expressed his enthusiasm: “This is the absolute cracker, the most difficult task, a super opponent, a full stadium, we will try everything”. he said on ARD on Sunday.
