Prague reunion for Bayern and Chelsea

Fifteen months on from their epic UEFA Champions League final, FC Bayern München and Chelsea FC meet at Prague's Stadion Eden in the UEFA Super Cup.

• Chelsea stunned Bayern with a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory in the German club's own stadium last May, Didier Drogba – who had cancelled out Thomas Müller's 83rd-minute opener – converting the winning spot kick to take the European Cup to Stamford Bridge for the first time.

• Bayern came back to become only the second club – after AC Milan (1993, 1994) – to win the European Cup 12 months after losing in the final. Goals from Mario Mandžukić (60) and Arjen Robben (89) earned a fifth triumph as a thrilling final against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley ended 2-1.

• Chelsea also left it late, Branislav Ivanović's towering header three minutes into added time settling the UEFA Europa League final against SL Benfica at the Amsterdam ArenA. The Blues became only the third club – after Juventus, AFC Ajax and Bayern – to win all three major European club competitions.

• Both clubs have suffered UEFA Super Cup disappointment; Chelsea, winners in 1998, were overrun by Club Atlético de Madrid in Monaco 12 months ago while Bayern lost in 1975 (v FC Dynamo Kyiv), 1976 (RSC Anderlecht) and 2001 (Liverpool FC). No other team has finished runners-up three times without winning the trophy.

• The match provides a sub-plot in the teams' new coaches; Bayern's Josep Guardiola and José Mourinho of Chelsea know each other well from their time in charge of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF respectively.

Previous meetings
• In the 2012 UEFA Champions League final, Müller's late header had seemingly given Jupp Heynckes' Bayern victory, but five minutes later Drogba headed an equaliser for a Chelsea team managed by Roberto Di Matteo. Former Blues winger Robben had an extra-time penalty saved by Petr Čech and there was more spot-kick misery for Bayern in the shoot-out, despite Juan Mata's miss; Čech saved from Ivica Olić and Bastian Schweinsteiger, leaving Drogba to convert the decisive kick and give Chelsea a 4-3 penalty triumph.

• The teams at the Fußball Arena München on 19 May 2012 were:
Bayern: Neuer, Lahm, Boateng, Tymoshchuk, Contento, Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Robben, Müller (Van Buyten 87), Ribéry (Olić 96), Gomez.

• The lineups for that fixture on 6 April 2005 were:
Chelsea: Čech, Johnson (Huth 65), Carvalho, Terry, Gallas, Cole (Tiago 82), Lampard, Makelele, Duff, Gudjohnsen, Drogba (Forssell 89).
