The 2016 DFB-Pokal Final decided the winner of the 2015–16 DFB-Pokal, the 73rd season of Germany's premier football cup. It was played on 21 May 2016 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Borussia Dortmund, who had lost in the two previous finals, faced Bayern Munich, the record title-holders, who won 4–3 on penalties, as the match had finished 0–0 after extra time, giving Bayern their 18th title.[3]

As Bayern completed the domestic double, they will play away to 2015–16 Bundesliga runners-up Dortmund in the 2016 DFL-Supercup. Because Bayern qualified for the Champions League, the sixth-place team in the Bundesliga, Mainz 05, earns automatic qualification for the group stage of next year's edition of the UEFA Europa League, and the league's third qualifying round spot will go to the team in seventh, Hertha BSC.[4]

Background

This was Guardiola's final match coaching Bayern.
This was Hummels's final match for Dortmund before moving to Bayern in the summer.

It was Bayern's twenty-first final, with a record of seventeen wins, the most of any club, and three losses prior. Bayern's last final won was in 2014. It was Dortmund's eighth overall and third consecutive final, with a record of three wins and four losses prior. Dortmund's last final won was in 2012. This was the ninth match between Bayern and Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal, and the fourth final between them, all within the last eight years, having previously met in 2008, 2012, and 2014, making it the most common final. Of these, Bayern have won two (in 2008, winning 2–1 after extra time, and 2014, winning 2–0 after extra time), while Dortmund have won once (in 2012, winning 5–2).[5]

Bayern and Dortmund also met each other in the semi-finals of the previous season of the DFB-Pokal. The match finished 1–1 after extra time, and Dortmund won 2–0 on penalties.[6] The other matches between these two sides took place in 1966, where Bayern won 2–0 in the qualification round, 1981, where Bayern won 4–0 in the third round, 1992, where Dortmund won 5–4 on penalties in the second round as the match finished 2–2 after extra time, and 2013, where Bayern won 1–0 in the quarter-finals. This makes for a total of five wins for Bayern, and one win and two penalty shoot-out wins for Dortmund.[7]

The game was Bayern coach Pep Guardiola's final match, after three years in charge of the team.[8] For Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel, it was his first season in charge as coach. Guardiola praised Tuchel for an impressive season, finishing second in the Bundesliga and making it to the cup final.[9]

On 10 May 2016, it was announced that Dortmund defender Mats Hummels would be leaving the club at the end of the season. The cup final would be his last match for Dortmund, against his future club Bayern, whom he signed a five-year contract with, starting 1 July 2016.[10] Hummels himself was a Bayern youth product, but he only made one senior appearance before moving to Dortmund in 2008, initially on loan.[11][12] The transfer to Bayern was received negatively by many Dortmund fans, as he was the third Dortmund player to move to Bayern since 2013.[13]
