With their Champions League trophy Sunday, Bayern Munich booked their seat in the European Super Cup for the 2019-2020 season.
Bayern will meet Seville, Spain, on September 24 at the Puskas Arena in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, for the European Super Cup title.
The European Super match was supposed to be held in Porto, Portugal, on August 12, but the delay in the end of the season at the local and European levels due to the outbreak of the new Corona virus resulted in the transfer of the Super match to Budapest and delaying it to the 24th of next September.
