Overview

Bayern sealed a place in the Super Cup after defeating their domestic rivals Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final in Wembley earlier in May. Mario Mandzukic opened the scoring for the Bundesliga champions before Ilkay Gundogan equalised from the spot for Jurgen Klopp's men.

However, Arjen Robben's 89th minute goal was the difference between Dortmund and Bayern, as the latter lifted their fifth Champions League trophy at Wembley. Since their treble-winning 2012/13 season, there has been a change at Allianz Arena as Jupp Heynckes has been replaced by the former Barcelona manager.

Guardiola failed to win his first silverware with Bayern as they lost the DFB Super Cup 4-2 to Dortmund late last month. Since the loss to their Bundesliga rivals, the German champions have won four of the last five games played in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Chelsea made it to the Super Cup after registering a dramatic 2-1 win over Benfica in the Europa League finals. Fernando Torres gave the English club the lead before Oscar Cardozo equalised nine minutes later.

The game was set to go to extra time before Branislav Ivanovic's header during injury time made sure Rafael Benitez landed his first silverware as Chelsea manager. The Blues were forced to play in the second tier of the European football last season after becoming the first club to hold the Champions League winner's title and to make an exit from the group stages.

The last time Chelsea faced Bayern was in the 2012 Champions League final, where the Blues came out victorious after a penalty shootout.

What the Managers Say

Pep Guardiola: "I have great respect for Mourinho's career. I try to learn from all the coaches in the world, including him. But I will be trying to win the Super Cup, and he will be doing the same so that is it. He is a master of organising counter-attacks and when you lose the ball to his teams, you're dead."

Jose Mourinho: "It's not about me and Pep, it's about Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Pep is not European champion and I'm not Europa League champion. We just coach here now, so it's not about us. Go there and see what happened with Inter, the league of the records in Spain, the King Cup in Spain, the Super Cup in Spain, so you are very wrong. But it's not me against him, its club against club."
