The 2014–15 FC Bayern Munich season was the 116th season in the club's history and the 50th consecutive season in the top flight of German football, the Bundesliga, since their promotion from the Regionalliga Süd in 1965. Bayern participated in the season's editions of the DFB-Pokal, DFL-Supercup and UEFA Champions League. It was the 10th season for Bayern at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern came into the 2014–15 season as the defending Bundesliga champions[2] and defending DFB-Pokal champions.[3] In the 2013–14 season, Bayern were knocked out of Champions League by eventual winners Real Madrid in the semi-finals, losing 5–0 on aggregate.[4] Bayern hired Michael Reschke as Technical Director.[5] This is a new position and will provide "support" for Matthias Sammer, the Sporting Director for Bayern.[5]
Robert Lewandowski,[6] Sebastian Rode,[7] Juan Bernat,[8] Pepe Reina,[9] Medhi Benatia,[10] Xabi Alonso,[11] and Sinan Kurt[12] transferred to Bayern. Lewandowski was the second "key" player within a year to move to Bayern from Borussia Dortmund.[13] Bayern bought Medhi Benatia from Roma for an undisclosed fee.[10] Pep Guardiola wanted to sign another player due to Javi Martínez's injury in the German Super Cup.[14] For this reason, Bayern brought Xabi Alonso from Real Madrid[11] for undisclosed fee. Lukas Raeder,[15] Alessandro Schöpf,[16] Mario Mandžukić,[17] Toni Kroos,[18] and Diego Contento[19] left the club. Contento had been at the club for 19 years.[20] Mandžukić wanted to leave Bayern because the "playing style of coach Pep Guardiola simply does not fit him."[21] Julian Green was loaned out to Hamburger SV[22] and Daniel Van Buyten retired.[23] He had been offered another role at Bayern.[24]
Pre-season started on 9 July.[25] During pre-season, Bayern defeated Red Baroons Dietmannsried 3–0 on 18 July in its first friendly match of the season.[26] This was Holger Badstuber's first match in 594 days.[26] Badstuber injured his ACL against Borussia Dortmund on 1 December 2012.[27] and re-injured it on 19 May 2013.[28] He returned to first-team training on 5 May 2014.[29] Also in pre-season, Bayern faced MSV Duisburg on 21 July in a benefits match[30] which ended in a 1–1 draw.[31] Robert Lewandowski made his pre-season debut and scored his first goal for Bayern.[31] Pre-season continued with the 2014 Telekom Cup.[32] Bayern faced Borussia Mönchengladbach in the semifinal on 26 July which Bayern won in a shoot-out, after a 2–2 draw in sixty minutes.[32] Bayern defeated VfL Wolfsburg 3–0 in the final the following day and won the cup.[33] Bayern took a tour of the United States.[34] This is Bayern's first pre-season tour in the United States in a decade.[35] Bayern were in New York City for three days.[36] During the tour, on 31 July,[37] they defeated Chivas Guadalajara 1–0 at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey and won the Audi Football Summit Cup 2014.[38][39] Bayern were also in Portland, Oregon for four days.[36] While in Portland, on 6 August,[40] Bayern lost to the MLS All-Star team 2–1 on 6 August.[41] Pep Guardiola was angry because of "harsh challenges" and didn't shake Caleb Porter's hand after the game.[35][42] Two of the tackles came from Osvaldo Alonso and other tackle came from Will Johnson.[43] The tackle by Johnson injured Bastian Schweinsteiger.[43] During pre-season, Thiago "suffered a relapse" of his knee injury that he picked up in March 2014.[44]
Prior to the winter break, Bayern signed Tom Starke to a contract extension and gave Gianluca Gaudino his first professional contract.[45] Bayern defeated Mainz 05 and immediately went on winter break.[46] During the winter break, Bayern signed Joshua Kimmich as their first transfer signing for the 2015–16 season.[47] Most of the players returned on 7 January.[46] David Alaba, Holger Badstuber, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Medhi Benatia, and Tom Starke had returned earlier.[48] Bayern loaned out Højbjerg for the remainder of the season[49] and sold Xherdan Shaqiri.[50] Højbjerg also received a contract extension.[51] Bayern left for a nine-day training camp in Doha, Qatar on 9 January.[52] Philipp Lahm and Thiago didn't go to Doha, Qatar.[53] While in the Middle East, Bayern played two friendlies.[52] In the first match in Qatar, Bayern defeated the Qatar Stars League XI 4–1.[54] In the second match in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Bayern defeated Al-Hilal 4–1.[55] Bayern finished mid-season training with a 5–1 win against VfL Bochum on 23 January.[56] On 13 January, Allianz Arena increased capacity to 75,000 after the city of Munich approved the increase[57] which is for Bundesliga matches only.[57] The capacity for UEFA Champions League matches also increased.[57]
