What a baller Schweinsteiger was. I remember watching him at the 2006 WC and the 2008 Euros as a winger with a lot of flair. Then he fully transitioned to a box-to-box midfielder at the 2010 WC who ran the midfield. One of my favourite players ever.

I saved up my entire adult life to go from Chicago to Old Trafford to see United play at the theater of dreams. Bastian was playing there. He then gets traded to the Chicago fire a few games after I saw him play for United but I had season tickets for the fire so I got to see him again and much closer. What a silky touch and the biggest calves I've ever seen in my life

Basti I doubt you will ever see this but I must say as an American you are the reason I got into football. I will never forget watching the 2010 WC and not knowing a thing but I understood the game instantly by watching you. You will forever be my favorite player and have my infinite gratitude for getting me into football. Der Fussballgott!!!

One of the greatest, most underrated players ever and one of my top 3 all time favorites. I've never seen a Midfield General with so much style and swagger. He would recieve the ball under pressure from multiple sides, take out one man with the first touch and then sauce his man up, all at at walking pace. He could literally do everything on the pitch except clone himself

Bastian , for me he was my favourite player at Bayern during his peak. What a classy strong powerful player. Playing on the wing, then evolved into an energetic box-to-box player. Even when he came to United towards the last few years of his career, his presence in the squad was still awe to watch. A legend of the game. That competitive and classy elegance, he’s a gem for German football. Great to see Rio and Basti together side by side. 👏🙌

My favorite German player. Remember him playing more on the wing in the 2006 World Cup, then the way he developed into a world class Central Midfielder. He had it all from long and short passing, tackling, interceptions, and a leader. Still remember his Man of the Match performance in the World Cup against Argentina. Wish United had signed him a few years before 2015.
