The 2013 UEFA Super Cup was the 38th UEFA Super Cup, an annual football match organised by UEFA and contested by the reigning champions of the two main European club competitions, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. In a repeat of the 2012 UEFA Champions League Final, the match featured Bayern Munich, the winners of the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League, and Chelsea, the winners of the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League. Having beaten Bayern in the 2012 Champions League Final, it was Chelsea's second consecutive appearance in the Super Cup.[5] It was played at the Fortuna Arena in Prague, Czech Republic, on 30 August 2013, and was the first to be held away from the Stade Louis II in Monaco since it became a one-legged match in 1998.[6][7]

Bayern Munich became the first German team to win the UEFA Super Cup, beating Chelsea on penalties after extra time.[8][9] It was also the first time the winner of the Super Cup was determined by a penalty shoot-out.[10] Chelsea's defeat made them the first team to lose consecutive Super Cups since Porto in 2004.
