The DFB Pokal delivered excitement all the way to the final. All the big teams were out, and in the last act, even a third-division club, Arminia Bielefeld, faced Stuttgart.

In the final (broadcast on OneFootball), however, fairy tales found no place: the red and whites coached by Sebastian Hoeneß asserted their strength by winning the trophy with a clear 2-4 victory, returning to title-winning ways 18 years after their last success in the Bundesliga. For Stuttgart, ninth in the league, this means access to the Europa League.
The match, in fact, was never in doubt.
Stuttgart took a 3-0 lead after just 28 minutes, settling the matter and setting a new competition record: never before in the history of the German league cup final had there been so many goals in such a short time.
A match that provided a spectacle at the Olympiastadion and, as certified by the data, was played openly by the fairytale Bielefeld, who could do nothing against Stuttgart.
Fourth success for Stuttgart, who hadn't won the Cup since 1997.
