Bastian Schweinsteiger was just 13 years old when FC Bayern Munich took notice of him. It would be another five years before he made his first professional appearance. The rest is history. Today, Schweinsteiger is one of the most successful Bayern players of all time.
The man who once said: “Scoring goals is more important to me than sex. You feel really good afterwards,” scored 45 Bundesliga goals in 500 competitive matches that he played for FC Bayern Munich. He won the German championship eight times with Bayern and the cup seven times. He won the Champions League with them, became club world champion and Super Cup winner. A record that made him a club legend. He once said: “The relationship between Bayern and me was very special. It was a bit like a partnership, each of us developed in our own way, always making sure that the other was doing well.”
Bastian Schweinsteiger, a football legend
“Schweini” not only shaped the game of FC Bayern Munich for years, but also played a key role in the success of the German national team. The Upper Bavarian native took part in four European Championships and three World Championships. The highlight of his career: the World Championship title in 2014.
Bastian Schweinsteiger has now ended his career as a sportsman. Instead of scoring goals himself, he now analyses others as an expert.
