📲DFB-Pokal final: Bielefeld v Stuttgart, fairytale EL dream
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇮🇹 here. From the third German division to the Europa League. No, we haven't gone crazy. We're talking about the dream that Arminia Bielefeld could achieve tomorrow evening. Winning the DFB-Pokal would allow them to fly to Europe. The only obstacle is Stuttgart, but the German underdog didn't get the title of "giant killer" by chance.

Bundesliga, Bielefeld has taken the scene away from the championship. It's in the cup that they've built an unforgettable fairy tale, and it's precisely against the big teams that they manage to bring out their best. They eliminated a second-division team and then four Bundesliga teams. Even Leverkusen, in the semifinals, was forced to bow down. The small Bielefeld that eliminates the champions. David against Goliath. Once again. This team is special. Their wins in the German Cup have allowed them to reach the final in Berlin for the first time ever (fourth for a third-tier club), but the club was already well-known in Germany, and the reason is really special. 📸 Thomas F. Starke - 2025 Getty Images Advertisement Arminia Bielefeld is known as "the elevator". A bizarre nickname, but one that fits perfectly given the seasons characterized by constant ups and downs. One year they get promoted, the next they get relegated... and so on. It's no coincidence that they're the club that has achieved the most promotions (7 in total) in Germany. 📸 Alexander Hassenstein - 2025 Getty Images This year, however, is the good one, and after their promotion to the second German division, imagining a triumph at the Olympiastadion is not absurd. In front of them, though, they'll find a Stuttgart that's playing for everything. A ninth-place finish in the league means no European cups, so winning will be crucial tomorrow evening. The precedents smile at the Schwaben: they have 20 wins against Bielefeld (12) in 44 total matches. But beware, because underestimating an outsider this year is equivalent to a defeat. It's been the year of firsts, of underdogs beating every prediction and becoming great. After Bologna in the Coppa Italia and Crystal Palace in the FA Cup, it could be Arminia Bielefeld's turn at the Olympiastadion. Winning the German Cup for the first time in their history would write a beautiful page in German football, but it would be a success in any case.
