Dortmund's Bonus: Bayern's Double Delivers Super Cup Spot
24 May
Summary
- Bayern Munich won both the Bundesliga and German Cup titles.
- Borussia Dortmund qualifies for the Super Cup as runner-up.
- The Super Cup winner receives €3 million, the loser €2 million.
Borussia Dortmund will compete in the German Super Cup thanks to Bayern Munich's recent successes. Bayern secured both the Bundesliga title and the German Cup, defeating VfB Stuttgart in the cup final.
Normally, the Super Cup features the league champion and the cup winner. However, Bayern's league and cup double means the spot typically reserved for the cup runner-up now goes to the Bundesliga's second-placed team, which is Dortmund.
The Super Cup match is scheduled for August 22, though the venue is yet to be announced. This matchup presents a prime opportunity for both clubs to win additional prize money, with the victor set to receive €3 million and the loser €2 million.
