The DFB-Pokal championship game did not feature too many fireworks on the field, but the pyrotechnics in the stands sure caught the attention of the German Football Association. Per a report by TZ, both Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig were fined for pyrotechnics set off by their respective fan groups.

Bayern Munich was fined €47,000, while RB Leipzig only has to pay €7,000.
