Wolfsburg also would have qualified for the group stage of the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League, although they had already qualified for the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League via their league position. Because of this, the sixth-placed team in the Bundesliga, Schalke 04, earned automatic qualification for the group stage of next year's edition of the UEFA Europa League, and the league's third qualifying round spot went to the team in seventh, Borussia Dortmund; this was the first season in which the cup runners-up would not have qualified for the Europa League if the cup winner had qualified for the Champions League via their league position.Strategic talks in Dubrovnik http://www.uefa.org/about-uefa/executive-committee/news/newsid=1999120.html 29 April 2015 UEFA 20 September 2013 Background The match was Borussia Dortmund's seventh final in the competition, holding a record of three victories (most recently against Bayern Munich in 2012) and three defeats (most recently against the same opponents two years later).
