RB Leipzig goes into the DFB Cup final against Borussia Dortmund (8.45 p.m.) with a surprising line-up. In defense, Lukas Klostermann and Marcel Halstenberg both play German national players. In the storm, coach Julian Nagelsmann again offers the South Korean Hee-chan Hwang. Alexander Sörloth storms next to him. A 3-4-1-2 formation in which RB has never started in this personnel constellation.

Cup expert Yussuf Poulsen (five goals this season) sits on the bench like Emil Forsberg and Abwehrfels Willi Orban. A total of four changes compared to the league game on Saturday in Dortmund.

Angeliño (disciplinary reasons), Tyler Adams (back and thigh problems) and Dominik Szoboszlai (integration into team training after chronic groin problems) are missing RB.

Haaland from the start

Storm star Erling Haaland, who last paused for more than two weeks because of a bruise in his thigh, starts at Dortmund. Thorgan Hazard sits on the bench for this.
