Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, both from Germany's Bundesliga, advanced through the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League knockout rounds to reach the final, creating an unprecedented all-German showdown at Wembley Stadium in London on 25 May 2013.
Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Dortmund 2–1 in the final, with Mario Mandžukić opening the scoring for Bayern before İlkay Gündoğan equalized from the penalty spot for Dortmund. Arjen Robben, named man of the match, scored the winning goal late in the game to secure the trophy for Bayern.
Bayern Munich's Champions League victory completed a continental treble, having already claimed the Bundesliga title and the DFB-Pokal that same season. They subsequently won the 2013 UEFA Super Cup against Chelsea and the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup, making it an extraordinarily successful season.
