"Bayern kicked off the tournament in a rather rusty fashion, as they found themselves trailing 3-1 to Juventus in their opening game. However, because Bayern have made a habit of comebacks nowadays, they came back in style to win 4-3. Ribéry, Sebastian Rudy (remember him?), Mandžukić, and Mark van Bommel scored the goals. The second and last group game pitted the hosts against Eintracht Frankfurt."
"Bayern then sadly lost to Madrid in the semis, conceding twice to Rúben de la Red. Dortmund dispatched Juventus in the other semifinal to reunite with Madrid in the final. Due to Madrid goalkeeper Pedro Coentras' theatrics against Bayern, the crowd at the SAP Garden was rooting for the German side to knock some sense into the record European champions."
Bayern Munich entered the Legends Cup as hosts and former champions, fielding a largely similar roster including Arjen Robben, Franck Ribéry, Lothar Matthäus, Rafinha, Klaus Augenthaler, Tom Starke, Mario Mandžukić and Jürgen Klinsmann. Bayern trailed 3-1 to Juventus in their opening game but rallied to win 4-3 with goals from Ribéry, Sebastian Rudy, Mandžukić and Mark van Bommel. Robben forced an own goal and scored against Eintracht Frankfurt to secure the group win. Bayern lost to Real Madrid in the semifinals, conceding twice to Rúben de la Red, then defeated Juventus to claim third place.
