Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes thanked his side for giving him the "most beautiful present" in his last game in charge on Saturday.

After opening up a three-goal lead through Thomas Muller and a brace from Mario Gomez, two late goals from Martin Harnik set up a grandstand finish with Stuttgart going close to forcing extra time. "We were a bit scared in the last 10 minutes," admitted winger Franck Ribery. "I think that we didn't play all that well in the last 20 minutes, but then who cares - we've won and this is football, and this is the cup."
