Video: Bundesliga pay tribute to Manchester United-bound Bastian Schweinsteiger

Farewell Schweini

Ben Kiely

The Bundesliga bid farewell to a true league legend with this great video tribute.

As we all know by now, Bastian Schweinsteiger is leaving Bayern Munich to join Manchester United.

While it appears to be a great acquisition for the Red Devils, it means that the Bundesliga has lost one of its icons. After 17 years of quality service to the German giants and his pivotal role in the 2014 World Cup win, Schweinsteiger had elevated himself to national hero status.

To say goodbye to one of the Bundesliga’s greats, the league uploaded this touching tribute to Schweinsteiger, which features some kind words from his dear friend Philipp Lahm.
