German football club Kaiserslautern could be playing in the Europa League and in the domestic third division at the same time next season. This extraordinary scenario is possible because the club reached the German Cup final on May 25 in Berlin with a 2-0 victory at third-tier Saarbrücken on Tuesday night. The Cup winner gets direct entry into the Europa League, but at the same time Kaiserslautern are in third-last place in the second division. It means that Kaiserslautern could be relegated by the time of the Cup final, where they either face Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen or Fortuna Düs...

Bayer Leverkusen are taking nothing for granted and have even trained penalties ahead of Wednesday's German Cup semi-final against Fortuna Düsseldorf, who for their part want to defy all odds and reach the final as well. Second division Düsseldorf are well aware that Leverkusen are unbeaten in all 39 season matches but goalkeeper Florian Kastenmeier said: "They have to lose at some stage, why not against us? "We definitely have a chance. When, if not in the cup with its own rules?" Kastenmeier told Kicker sports magazine ahead of their trip 20 kilometres south to Leverkusen. Leverkusen have be...

Bayer Leverkusen are taking nothing for granted and have even trained penalties ahead of their German Cup semi-final against Fortuna Düsseldorf where top scorer Victor Boniface could make his long awaited comeback. Coach Xabi Alonso said that Boniface would not start but could get some playing time in a return from a groin injury he sustained in early January. "Boni is in the squad. I don't know how long he can play. Not for 90 minutes, 45 possibly also not but maybe 30. He has a strong mentality and can't wait to be back on the pitch," Alonso told reporters on Tuesday. Boniface is Leverkusen'...

Fortuna Düsseldorf make the short trip to Bayer Leverkusen hoping to end their season-long unbeaten run of 39 matches in all competitions in Wednesday's German Cup semi-final. "Of course we go there with a certain respect but at the same time it is a huge chance," goalkeeper Florian Kastenmeier told Tuesday's edition of Kicker sports magazine. "They have to lose at some stage, why not against us? We definitely have a chance. When, if not in the cup with its own rules? You can see that with Saarbrücken, who have made it to the semi-finals again." Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen are the only Bundesliga...

Saarbrücken coach Rüdiger Ziehl is sure that the German Cup semi-final match between his team and Kaiserslautern will go ahead as planned on Tuesday and without issues with the pitch. "If it doesn't get extreme, the pitch has a playable surface. I was surprised that the pitch was in good condition," Ziehl said on Monday. Saarbrücken's quarter-finals home match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, originally scheduled for February 7, was cancelled shortly before kick-off due to a water-logged pitch. The games was rescheduled for March 12 and the hosts won 2-1. The quality of the third division tea...
