The German international spoke candidly about the team's mindset, revealing that the sting of their European exit has only intensified their hunger for domestic silverware.\n\nThe final against a determined opponent represents more than just another match for Tah and his teammates. It is a chance at immediate redemption, a tangible goal to grasp after the intangible pain of falling short on the continent's biggest stage. For a club with Leverkusen's history of near-misses, the psychological weight of such a final is immense.\n\nTah's comments paint a picture of a squad that is hurting but not broken. He acknowledged the natural disappointment that follows a significant setback, stating that the feeling is \"simply disappointing, and that's normal.\" However, his focus quickly pivots to the necessary response: \"We have to get over it as quickly as possible, we have to move forward.\" This forward-looking mentality is crucial in the high-stakes environment of a cup final.\n\nThe DFB-Pokal holds a special place in German football. For clubs outside the traditional Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund duopoly, it represents one of the most accessible paths to major glory and a guaranteed spot in European competition. For Leverkusen, a club that has famously finished as runners-up multiple times across various competitions, winning this cup would be a significant statement of progress and a balm for past wounds.\n\nThe context of their Champions League disappointment against Paris Saint-Germain adds layers to this final. Facing a financial powerhouse and a team filled with global superstars, Leverkusen's exit, while painful, was a learning experience. The desire to \"forget\" that result, as Tah suggests, is not about erasing the memory but about proving that the team can respond to adversity with a trophy-winning performance.\n\nFrom a tactical and squad perspective, the DFB-Pokal final offers manager Xabi Alonso a chance to solidify his team's identity. A victory would validate the project's direction and provide a massive confidence boost heading into the next season. For players like Tah, who have been part of the club's journey through ups and downs, it would be a career-defining moment.\n\nThe opponent in the final will undoubtedly be motivated, but Tah's words suggest Leverkusen will bring an extra edge. The phrase \"even more desire\" is telling; it implies a baseline of motivation that has been supercharged by recent events. This emotional fuel, if properly harnessed, can be a decisive factor in a one-off match where margins are thin.\n\nUltimately, this DFB-Pokal final is a crossroads for Bayer Leverkusen. It is an opportunity to transform the narrative of a season that promised much in Europe but ended in frustration. Jonathan Tah, speaking for the squad, has made the objective clear: use the pain as propulsion, secure the trophy, and write a new, victorious chapter. The stage is set for a response defined not by words, but by action on the pitch.\n\nBased on reporting from Foot - actualités, mercato, info & vidéo en continu.","news","Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah reveals heightened motivation to win the DFB-Pokal final, seeking redemption after a disappointing Champions League exit against PSG.
