In the 2017 edition of the DFL-Supercup, the game features the winner of the 2016/17 Bundesliga season (Bayern Munich) versus the winner of the DFB-Pokal (Borussia Dortmund). Last year, Dortmund won the match, and this year’s final will be played at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund.
The 2017 German Supercup could feature American star Christian Pulisic for Dortmund. Pulisic has recently been rumored as a potential transfer target for Liverpool if Philippe Coutinho joins Barcelona.
