Joshua Kimmich described the DFB-Pokal finale as a special occasion with significant pressure. He said outsiders often focus only on successes and titles, while the team’s recent years show consistently high-level football. He emphasized that the season should not be judged by one game, and that the squad enjoys training and playing together, which supports development. Kimmich stated that winning or losing can be influenced to some extent, but he does not measure success solely by titles. He added that over the long term, winning as many titles as possible matters, and the team will give everything to win the match against VfB Stuttgart.
"“Viewed from the outside, it's only successes and titles that count. But when you're actually in the thick of it and look back over the last few years, we've consistently played football at a high level. We'll do everything we can to win tomorrow's match. That said, I don't judge a season on the basis of a single game. I get the feeling that the team enjoys coming to training every day and everyone is keen to play football together,” Kimmich said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
"“That's very valuable for our development. Whether we win or lose is something we can influence to a certain extent, but I'm far from measuring success solely by titles. But when you look back in ten years' time, you want to have won as many titles as possible. So we'll give it our all tomorrow.”"
"“Generally speaking, it's always something very special to come here. You can tell in the club, the team and the family that absolutely everyone is looking forward to it - partly because we haven't been here for a while. We're going to give it our all,” said Kimmich."
