The 2013 UEFA Champions League final was the big game of the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League season. It happened on May 25, 2013, at Wembley Stadium in London, England.[6] The teams were Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich from Germany. Bayern won 2–1 with goals from Mario Mandžukić and Arjen Robben, while İlkay Gündoğan scored for Dortmund.

Bayern Munich also won the 2012–13 DFB-Pokal and the 2012–13 Bundesliga, completing a treble. Because they won the Champions League, they got to play against Chelsea, who won the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League, in the 2013 UEFA Super Cup. They also qualified for the semi-finals of the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup as the UEFA representative, and they ended up winning both of these competitions.

A lot of people watched the final – 21.6 million in Germany on ZDF and over 360 million worldwide, making it the most-watched sports event of 2013.
