Dortmund were the reigning champions, having beaten Bayern 4–2 in 2013, although the season before, Bayern beat Dortmund 2–1. Both teams had won four previous installments (of seven attempts by Bayern and six by Dortmund), and thus the winners would set a new record.[2] The match took place on 13 August 2014 at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund.[3]
Dortmund defeated Munich 2–0 to win their record fifth title.[4]
