Arminia Bielefeld, a third-division football team, made history by reaching the final of the German Cup after defeating defending champions Bayer Leverkusen. Trailing 1-0 after Jonathan Tah's goal, Bielefeld secured their victory with goals from Marius Worl and Maximilian Grosser. They are only the fourth club from the third tier to reach this stage. Bielefeld's journey included victories against several Bundesliga teams, showcasing their resilience. Leverkusen's poor performance in this crucial match highlighted their struggles despite being a top team last season.
"I didn't see a two-league difference between the teams today," said former German international Bastian Schweinsteiger. "In fact, I didn't even see a single league difference."
"That was our worst game of the season by far, in our most important game so far," Leverkusen midfielder Robert Andrich stated. "We were second to every ball and we have admit we completely messed up."
