Defending champion Borussia Dortmund seeks to stop his fellow European champion Bayern Munich, who won four titles last season, both domestically and in Europe, when they clash at the "Allianz Arena" in the eleventh edition of the German Super Cup behind closed doors tomorrow.

The cup brings together the two champions of the League and the Cup, but Bayern, the league title holder in the past eight years, also won the cup at the expense of Bayer Leverkusen, and put it against its runners-up in the League Dortmund.

Bayern hopes to win its fifth title in "Corona time" and since the resumption of activity months ago due to the Corona pandemic, where it won the Cup and League titles in Germany, then the Champions League and finally the European Super Cup.

Dortmund faces the wounded after losing 2-0 to Augsburg in the second stage of the league, but Bayern, in turn, fell in the same stage to host Hoffenheim 4-1, to catch the latter with their first loss in about 10 months.

Hoffenheim also put an end to the series of 23 consecutive victories for the Bavarian giants in various competitions, the most recent of which was against Sevilla, Spain, 2-1, after the extension in the European Super Cup last Thursday in Budapest, a feat that no club in the five major tournaments had previously achieved, surpassing Real Madrid's 22 victories.

It is the first loss for Bayern Munich since its fall to Borussia Monchengladbach 1-2 on the seventh of last December, as it is the first loss led by coach Hanzi Flick in all competitions since last December.

Flick commented on the loss, "It was easy for our competitors to create opportunities. We were not effective from the offensive side as usual ... I cannot blame the team because they fought and gave their all. I accept the loss."
