The 2014 AT&T Major League Soccer All-Star Game was the 19th consecutive Major League Soccer All-Star Game. It took place on August 6, 2014 at Providence Park, the home of MLS club Portland Timbers. The game was televised live on ESPN2 and UniMás in the United States, TSN and RDS in Canada, and in more than 130 countries worldwide.[1]

Bayern Munich was the second European team not from Great Britain to play in the All-Star Game, following A.S. Roma in the 2013 MLS All-Star Game. As such, they were the first German team to play in the All-Star Game. They were also the first defending FIFA Club World Champions to play in the All-Star Game after winning the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup.

The MLS All-Stars defeated Bayern Munich 2–1. After giving up a goal in the 8th minute to Robert Lewandowski, the All-Stars pulled even early in the second-half on a goal by Bradley Wright-Phillips. Landon Donovan scored in the 70th minute to put the All-Stars ahead for good. Donovan was named the game's Most Valuable Player.

Aftermath

After the match, Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola refused to shake the hand of MLS All-Stars manager Caleb Porter despite Porter's multiple attempts.[12] Guardiola seemed to be angry over rough challenges by MLS players during the exhibition match resulting in yellow cards, particulary those of Osvaldo Alonso and Will Johnson on Xherdan Shaqiri and Bastian Schweinsteiger respectively. Bayern Munich, in preseason, had just arrived in the United States and have six players who played for Germany's World Cup winning squad whereas MLS players are halfway through the current season. Guardiola backtracked from his behavior postgame stating, "We tried to play and we did. Congratulations to MLS for this victory. I hope they are going to invite us next year to try and make revenge and I hope to prepare a little bit better."[13]
