Bastian Schweinsteiger "motivated" for DFB-Pokal win

Bastian Schweinsteiger says that Bayern Munich are fully motivated for the German Cup final.

Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has insisted that he is focusing solely on the DFB-Pokal final and not any club or personal records.

Schweinsteiger admitted that the players will do everything they can to lift one final trophy for departing coach Jupp Heynckes.

"The team really covets the cup," he told the club's official website. "It was obviously extremely special in London, but now we're focusing harder and harder every day. We're all utterly determined to win this match.

"The game at the Olympic Stadium is very, very important. I know what it's like to win there, so I'm highly motivated. It's always a wonderful evening in Berlin, and the atmosphere and the stadium are something very special.

We'll do whatever we can to win the cup. [Being Heynckes's final game] is another motivating factor. We want to give him a special send-off."

The game kicks off on Saturday night at 7pm.
