A German side is therefore guaranteed to win the UEFA Champions League for the third time, with Bayern (2001) and Dortmund (1997) the two previous winners from the Bundesliga.
Bayern will be the favourites after an all-encompassing domestic season. Not only did they win the Bundesliga title earlier than any team in history, but they also set records for the most wins, fewest defeats, the fewest goals conceded, most clean sheets and best goal difference, and they also scored in every league match.
This dominance has been reflected on the European stage. Bayern won all four of their quarter and semi-final matches, scoring 11 goals without conceding against Juventus and Barcelona.
Bayern will also be hoping to redress their final form, having lost to Inter Milan in 2010 and Chelsea on penalties last season in their home stadium, the Allianz Arena.
The match will be Jupp Heynckes penultimate game in charge before the veteran coach leaves the club and allows Pep Guardiola to take his place at the helm.
For Dortmund, this is the opportunity to respond after a season in which Bayern have wrestled back the initiative in Germany after consecutive titles for Die Schwarzgelben.
They reached the final thanks to four goals from Robert Lewandowski in their semi-final first leg against Real Madrid, and qualified despite a late scare in the Bernabeu.
Coach Jurgen Klopp is a firm believer that his side should play an attractive brand of attacking football, but Dortmund have struggled in recent games against Bayern, failing to beat their rivals in any of their four matches this season.
The match will take place at the Wembley Stadium in London at 7.45pm.
*I am rooting for Dortmund.. I love the way they play.*
