The most experienced BVB Cup finalists are Mats Hummels, Sebastian Kehl and Jakub Blaszczykowski. Those three were already part of the set-up in 2008, back then under Head Coach Thomas Doll and all of them were at least on the bench.

Roman Weidenfeller was missing for this first final of the new era, because he was injured and Marc Ziegler took his place.

Borussia were unlucky to lose this final 1-2 after extra time against Bayern Munich.
