Mocked as ‘Non-Existent’, German Town Hopes Cup Final Will Give It Last Laugh
- Arminia Bielefeld, a third-tier team, will face Bundesliga club Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal final on Saturday in Berlin's Olympiastadion.
- Bielefeld reached the final by defeating four Bundesliga sides including holders Bayer Leverkusen, while Stuttgart advanced by beating RB Leipzig in their semifinal.
- Bielefeld, coached by Michel Kniat and recently promoted to the second division, aims for its first major trophy in 120 years against Stuttgart, a five-time league champion and three-time cup winner.
- Stuttgart’s squad, valued over €350 million and ranked 50th by Opta, contrasts sharply with Bielefeld’s €8.23 million valuation and 507th ranking, highlighting a major quality gap.
- A Bielefeld victory would make them the first lower-division cup champion since 1992 and qualify them for the Europa League, while a Stuttgart win would secure their fourth cup title and reinforce their Bundesliga return.
