Football: Demirovic Seeks Redemption In German Cup Final After 2022 Heartbreak
Ermedin Demirovic: As the 2025 German Cup final approaches, Stuttgart striker Ermedin Demirovic finds himself confronting a wave of mixed emotions. Now 27, the Bosnia international still recalls the painful memory of the 2022 final, when his penalty hit the crossbar during the shootout while playing for Freiburg. That miss, he admits, may haunt him for the rest of his life.
"Since then," Demirovic said, "I developed compassion for all having to execute a penalty under that pressure."
In that May 2022 final, Freiburg's hopes ended in a loss to Leipzig, sealed in part by Demirovic's failed spot-kick.
