context_page_description: FC Bayern Munich are a football club based in the city of Munich in Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 1900, they have been competing in UEFA competitions since the 1960s and have become one of the most successful teams in Europe, winning eight major continental trophies including six European Cup/Champions League titles and are ranked joint third among all clubs across the continent in this regard. Bayern are by far Germany's most successful international representatives: no other teams from that nation have won Europe's premier competition more than once, or have more than two trophy wins overall.
  By winning the Intercontinental Cup in 1976 and 2001, and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2013, Bayern were recognised as world champions of that year.
context_section_description: In 2010–11, Bayern dropped to third in the Bundesliga and made an early exit from the Champions League, with holders Inter again ending their hopes. Van Gaal departed and was replaced by Jupp Heynckes for another spell in charge.
  In 2011–12, after eliminating Real Madrid on penalties in the Champions League semi-final, they lost both the title race and the cup final to Borussia Dortmund by the time of the continental final against Chelsea – to be held at the Allianz Arena. Home advantage appeared to have made the difference when Thomas Müller scored the opening goal with only seven minutes left to play, but Didier Drogba equalised for Chelsea five minutes later. No further goals were scored during extra time, with Arjen Robben having a penalty saved for the home side in the first period, so penalties were needed: after three kicks had been saved, Drogba took his opportunity to win the cup for Chelsea. It was another bitter blow in Bayern Munich's long history of contrasting fortunes.
  2012 UEFA Champions League Final
  As on previous occasions, Bayern returned stronger from a setback. After gaining a small revenge over Dotmund to win the 2012 DFL-Supercup, they reclaimed the Bundesliga title in style, losing only once and breaking multiple records during the campaign. In Europe, they eliminated Arsenal, Juventus and Barcelona by increasing margins (a 7–0 aggregate over the Catalans) to reach a tenth Champions League final, to be staged at Wembley Stadium in London.
  Their opponents would be familiar: Borussia Dortmund, in the first all-German final in the competition's history (there had previously been one all-Spanish, one all-Italian and one all-English final since the competition invited multiple entrants in the late 1990s). Most of Bayern's squad for the final remained the same as the previous year, and they were slight favourites due to their dominant domestic form. Mario Mandžukić scored the opening goal in the second half, swiftly equalised by Dortmund through a penalty. The contest seemed to be moving towards extra time when Franck Ribéry set up Arjen Robben in the 89th minute, and the Dutchman found the net. Dortmund had little time to respond, and the match ended 2–1 to give Bayern the prize for a fifth time. The following week, Bayern defeated Stuttgart in the 2013 DFB-Pokal Final to complete a treble (or a quadruple including the DFL-Supercup), an unprecedented feat in German football and only achieved seven times previously in other leagues across Europe.
  2013 UEFA Champions League Final
  Three months later, the 2013 UEFA Super Cup saw a rematch between Bayern, now coached by Pep Guardiola, and Chelsea (who had dropped out of their Champions League defence at the group stage but gone on to win the 'Europa League', as the UEFA Cup had now been rebranded). After a 1–1 draw on 90 minutes they shared two more goals in extra time, Bayern equalising in the last minute. Penalties were required again, and this time Chelsea missed their last while Bayern scored all five, to add the Super Cup to the club's trophy cabinet for the first time. However, they had already missed the chance to make a clean sweep in the 2013 calendar year when Dortmund won the 2013 DFL-Supercup. As European champions, Bayern moved straight to the semi-final stage of the FIFA Club World Cup which in 2013 was held in Morocco. They defeated Asian representatives Guangzhou Evergrande 3–0 to progress to the final, and the saw off the host nation's Raja Casablanca (who had unexpectedly eliminated the South American champions Atlético Mineiro) in the final to be crowned world champions for a third time. As in the European Cup and the Intercontinental Cup, they were the first German club to lift the World Club Cup.
  2013 UEFA Super Cup
  2013 FIFA Club World Cup Final
  Bayern retained both the Bundesliga and the German Cup in 2014 in dominant fashion, but lost their grip on the Champions League after a heavy defeat to Real Madrid, who again went on to win it (exactly as had transpired in 2002). That summer, Germany won the 2014 FIFA World Cup: serving Bayern
