German champion Bayern Munich missed out on silverware, beaten in a penalty shootout by Wolfsburg on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola lamented Bayern Munich's inability to see out the final minutes of the DFL-Supercup, as Nicklas Bendtner starred for Wolfsburg.
Bayern appeared destined to win its fifth Supercup title courtesy of Arjen Robben's opener five minutes into the second half, only for substitute Bendtner to force penalties with his 89th-minute equalizer on Saturday.
And Bendtner was the hero in the shootout as Wolfsburg emerged 5-4 victors after Xabi Alonso missed his spot kick.
Guardiola paid credit to Wolfsburg, who finished runners up to Bayern in the Bundesliga last season.
