Vincent Kompany has backed Bayern Munich to cone out victorious when they face Stuttgart in the German Cup final on Saturday.
The Bavarians have already sealed the Bundesliga title and will be looking to win a first domestic double in six years when they take to the field on Saturday.
This will also mark Bayern’s first DfB Pokal final since 2020, when they defeated Bayer Leverkusen 4-2 to win their 20th title.
“Obviously I knew this question (of a season assessment) would come”, Kompany said.
“But at the moment it is not important to evaluate the season. Tomorrow we are playing a final.
“There will be an opinion by everyone but first we have to put on our boots and play tomorrow.
“I have the certainty that (whatever the result) it won’t affect my motivation for the future. But I really want a win tomorrow. That’s the only thing that counts, not the analysis”, the Belgian added.
Bayern Munich also suffered elimination at the semifinals of the Champions League to Paris Saint-Germain, but now have another shot at redemption against Stuttgart.
Reacting to the match, Joshua Kimmich expressed confidence in Bayern Munich’s quality and believes they have what it takes to end the season with their second trophy.
“From the outside it is the titles that count,” Kimmich said.
“In the past few years we have been consistent at a high level. We will try to win it but I will not judge a season based on just one match.
“Whether we win or lose is something we can influence to a certain extent but I’m not measuring success just by titles.
“But when you look back in 10 years’ time, you want to have won as many titles as possible. So we’ll give it our all tomorrow”, Kimmich concluded.
