We will look to overthrow Bayern
Stuttgart sporting director Fredi Bobic says his side will use Wigan's FA Cup win as motivation ahead of Saturday's DFB-Pokal final.
Stuttgart are rank underdogs against Bavarian giants Bayern Munich, who on Saturday added the UEFA Champions League title to their Bundesliga success this season.
Bayern finished 48 points ahead of the 12th-placed Stuttgart in the Bundesliga and won both league fixtures against them 8-1 on aggregate during the recently completed campaign.
But Bobic is still hopeful his side can cause an upset in Berlin, and says Wigan's shock FA Cup success against Manchester City at Wembley can be used as inspiration.

Karanka hints Mourinho deal is done
Real Madrid assistant Aitor Karanka claims Jose Mourinho has already accepted an offer to manage Chelsea and wants him at Stamford Bridge.
Saturday's clash with Osasuna will be Mourinho's last game in charge at the Bernabeu after it was announced that he will be leaving the club at the end of the current campaign.
It is widely expected that the Portuguese will head back to Stamford Bridge for next term to take charge of Chelsea once again, where he won two Premier League titles in 2005 and 2006.
Karanka, a former Real and Spain international defender, was appointed as Mourinho's right-hand man in Madrid in 2010 and admitted that he could well be working with the 'Special One' once again in London soon.

"He (Moyes) never told me he planned to take me to United. Rumours are part of football and I take them with a pinch of salt," the Belgian international said after his country's 4-2 win over USA on Wednesday.
