DFl-supercup
This year, DFL-Supercup will take place in the stadium of Bundesliga champions Bayer 04 Leverkusen and thus for the first time in the BayArena. The match, which is usually played between the Bundesliga title winner and the DFB Cup winner of the previous season, is regarded as the kick-off to the new season. In the event of a double success such as that of Bayer 04 Leverkusen this year, the Bundesliga runners-up, in this case VfB, face the champions and cup winners.

We look back on Saturday night in our Werkself Review.
