Arminia booked a spot in the DFB Pokal final on Tuesday after beating reigning Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen at SchücoArena.

The third tier outfit stunned Xabi Alonso and Co with a 2-1 win thanks to goals from Marius Worl and Maximilian Grosser.

It was the third top-tier team Arminia had beat in the competition.

They defeated Union Berlin 2-0 in the second round before seeing off SC Freiburg in the last-16 in December.

The Blues went on to beat Werder Bremen in the quarter-finals to secure a semi-final meeting with Bayer Leverkusen.

They will now face either Stuttgart or RB Leipzig in the final of the competition.

Third-tier outfit Arminia have become the first team outside the top two divisions to knock four Bundesliga sides out of the German Cup in one season.

WHO ARE ARMINIA BIELEFELD?

Established in 1905, Arminia are based in the city of Bielefeld in northwestern Germany.

The Blues have participated in the Bundesliga for a total of 19 seasons so far since being founded.

They last found themselves in the league during the 2021-22 campaign.

Arminia were relegated to the 2. Bundesliga – the second tier of German football – at the end of that season after finishing 17th in the table.

They subsequently finished 16th the following term and lost the relegation playoff to Wehen Wiesbaden.

It meant the Blues dropped down to the 3. Liga – the third tier of German football – in back-to-back relegations.

And they have not been promoted since.

WHO IS THE MANAGER?

Michel Kniat is the manager of Arminia Bielefeld.

The 39-year-old played as a centre-back in Germany before becoming a coach.

He took over at Arminia back in 2023.

After the semi-final win, Kniat said: “I am so proud of the team.

“The whole region is feeling this. No one will be sleeping tonight.

“We defended with a lot of passion and that was the key. We worked extremely hard.”

Arminia have become the fourth team from the third division to reach the German Cup final.

Hertha Berlin’s reserve team achieved the feat in 1993, followed by Energie Cottbus in 1997 and Union Berlin in 2001.

Influencer who claims ‘overly large’ breast implants ruined career SUES top plastic surgeon for £1.7m

A TOP influencer is suing a plastic surgeon for £1.7million after claiming her “overly large” breast implants ruined her career.

Danielle Mansutti says she was left with “disfigured” breasts and a “very poor cosmetic appearance” after undergoing three operations.

The 30-year-old, who has amassed 1.6million subscribers on YouTube for her make up tutorials and fashion videos, first went under the knife in December 2020.

She then had further surgery in January and May 2021 after her left breast began to droop and her nipple started to “point outwards”.

After seeing a third surgeon, Danielle says she was finally advised that the implants had been too big for her size eight frame.

This reportedly caused her chest muscles on her left side to tear away from the bone – leaving her in agony and with asymmetrical breasts.

Danielle, who eventually had the implants removed in May 2021, is now suing Harley Street plastic surgeon Dr Domenico Mileto.

She has accused the doc, who carried out the original op, of recommending oversized implants that left her “disfigured”.

Danielle is suing for £1.7million – including for potential loss of social media earnings of £1.4million – after claiming the physical and mental impact of her ordeal led to her quitting the UK.

As a result, she said this forced her to stop work as an influencer and lose her “successful social media career.”

But Dr Mileto has insisted there was nothing wrong with the surgery and that Danielle had asked for implants that size.

The High Court in London was told following an initial consultation in November 2020, it was noted she wanted to go from a 34B to a C/D cup.

Danielle’s barrister Caroline Hallissey said: “The claimant explained to Dr Mileto that she wanted a natural breast appearance. She was a size eight dress size and was sure she did not want the appearance of obviously augmented breasts.

“She was given two or three implants to try, in the range 350-400cc, which were inserted into a sports bra provided by the clinic….when she expressed a preference for the smaller implant, Dr Mileto advised her to go for the larger implant as he said the implant would ‘drop’ and ‘shrink’ in time.

“She believed that Dr Mileto was the expert and that if he considered a 400cc implant was required to achieve the C/D cup and the natural look she wanted, then he must be right.

“She was not advised of any specific risks pertaining to the size of the implant that Dr Mileto had selected for her.”

Following her first surgery, Danielle saw a nurse at the MYA clinic amid concerns her left breast was lower than her right.

A second op was carried out in January 2021, which fixed the issue in the short term before it quickly returned, the court heard.

Danielle went on to have the implants removed by a third surgeon in May 2021 but says she has been left with “a visual deformity” caused by muscle damage and stretch marks.

The court heard her third surgeon’s note “records that the pectoral muscle on the left side had become detached from the sternal bone”.

Ms Hallissey said: “She has been left with a very poor cosmetic appearance.

“She is left with pain and disability caused by pectoral muscle damage. She has extensive scarring to her breasts. The cosmetic appearance of her breasts is poor.

“She has sustained a significant adjustment reaction to the failed surgery.”

In his defence, Matthew Barnes, for Dr Mileto, said he denies putting in “overly large” implants that were bigger than requested.

The lawyer also told how Danielle had the “opportunity to try several implant sizes and take photographs so that she could consider her options after the appointment”.

She was also advised to book a second appointment if she was unsure about the size, it was said.

Mr Barnes added: “It is admitted that Dr Mileto did not advise the claimant that ‘in the context of her small frame [the implants] had potential adverse implications for…her pectoral muscles’.

“It is denied that he ought to have advised in those terms.”

The case is set to return to court for a five-day trial at a later date.
