How good wa Bastian Schweinsteiger actually? #GOAT
New episode of a documentary series where I plan to present all the greatest players of all time and then give them a score so a ranking of the best players can be created. In this episode we take on Bastian Schweinsteiger who played for Bayern Munich for most of his career, not only one of the greatest midfielders of all time but one of the greatest players of all time. See how Bastian Schweinsteiger ranks and just how good he actually was.

July 13th, 2014. When it counted most, he played the game of his lifetime. Götze scored the winning goal but Schweinsteiger was the man who made the difference. When the doctors were treating him on the sideline and he stepped back on the pitch, covered in blood and sweat, I think everybody watching the game felt that there was no way we were gonna lose that game and I think the Argentine players knew it too. Legend!

[@AlexJones-ue1ll]

IKR ... they kept beating, fouling, ellbowing him in the face and he always returned to the pitch. If one person is to be credited with the World Cup win its Schweinsteiger. He wanted that trophy and he won it by shere force of will. He even got metall clamps in his face to get that title, for goodness sake!

He does have something on his face that says very distinctly: "I'm German!" But associating real, let alone living, people's faces with SS is way, way, way out of order and I think he's right to sue them. I hope he won the lawsuit and had this shit stopped!

[@jackpuccini3143]

What a player! So complete, versatile, energetic, consistent, and successful! He had almost everything you'd want in a midfielder, including leadership and a winning mentality, and he basically won it all for club and country! One of the very best midfielders of his generation!

[@MikaelLV]

@Eric Jungmann Except Lewandowski, the 2020 Bayern team can't really touch the 2013 one which is easily one of the greatest teams ever. Prime Alaba, Neuer, Robben, Ribery, Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Boateng, Müller, Kroos and Mandzukic being at his peak as well. It's rare to witness such a team. 2020-2021 Bayern are excellent, but not even close.

[@asant90]

@Eric Jungmann sorry but no

[@amrazing33]

He's a perfect example of a maestro. If you follow him closely during his time when he played central midfield, you'd know that this guy wasn't exceptional as a playmaker, wasn't really the epitome of a box-to-box player, not exactly a pivot, but when the ball gets to his feet, he always gets to dictate the tempo of the play. If he felt the tempo was too fast, he'd slow it down easy. If on the other hand, he felt the play was too slow, he'd make direct passes to advance the ball. It's really hard to compile it in highlights, but you'd get it if you watch full matches.

[@atulrawat36]

This guy has been my favourite player ever since I started watching football. many people wouldn't have noticed it but he could always be seen controlling the game even without the ball.

[@cvrs4578]

[@Dkmo94]

I'm no bayern fan by any means but basti is one of my all time favorites. He bossed the pitch in 2010 and he had one of the greatest performances I've ever seen in the 2014 WC final. Imperious in every aspect, the last of the Field Generals

[@pedropierre9594]

He was good, tactically supreme, good at all the basics. Perfect midfielder for a 2 man midfield, good temper as well.

[@Dukhanstmichmal]

He needs a straight 10/10 mentality. Just look at the final of the 2014 world cup - he dominated the midfield by sheer will while also having none other than Messi in his pocket all game long - to the point where Argentina got frustrated with him and started to foul him over and over - but he stayed on the pitch barely able to walk anymore and bleeding from his face... still being an absolute defensive monster in mid field. Also if you look at the penalty shoot against Chelsea where he missed: He was the only player who had the balls to take that penalty - their manager later said in an interview that most other players who normally took penalties pulled back and said they didnt feel right and didnt want to shoot. He was the only one who had balls big enough to do it that evening.

[@Namorat]

I would be very interested in your video about Lahm :)

Look at his cut over his eye. Look at him as he continously step out the Field and he still Wants To lead the Game. Look at him as he fouled messi in the Final! Look at him After the end Game Whistle! I Swear To god, Never Seen a Player With this leadering and step forwading as him! Schweinsteiger is one of the underrated Player ever!

[@RonT.]

schweinsteiger was a unique footballer, a director and mental beast with elegant skills and a healthy ego full of humility. the great brain on the pitch, fantastic shooting technique and passing overview. he is one of the greats of the past 100 years. his crowning glory took place in 2014, in rio de janeiro.

Athletically gifted. Mechanical, yet yearned for goals and raising his nations flag against the greatest countries in world football. What I liked about German players, was fact that although not artistically acclaimed with the ball, they knew how to feed the net with no nonsense, fast paced aggressive play. They, as a nation have always featured in the top echelon of the beautiful game. Let’s not forget Brazil. They made the host nation regret they had made the final. Pure power and unrelenting a force to be reckoned with

[@peppercat1887]

You see there are many kind of players. The goal getters, the assisters, defensive walls, ball artists. But what many people often fail to acknowledge in the world of football is the skill beyond the ball. They look at how many goals scored to determine someone's value. Schweini had a skill which I found more impressive than just physical skill, this dude has uncontested skills on the mental level. Argentina VS Germany will always be the shining example how a player has to behave. Schweini fought like a warrior against a Argentina that were out for blood, remember that in the game, another German player was substituted early cause he got knocked the fuck out, then Basti took bad hits and he fought on cause he was the captain and knew what had to be done. He didn't cower or took the easy way out, he literally fought for every inch cause he had a team to lead. That is a 10/10 leader and beyond the skills of Messi and Ronaldo, this is the kind of player I will remember of this generation.

[@robertschmid995]

Fussballgott as he read the game, lead it, directed the team and motivated them, best in 2014 WC final but also at Bayern or in 2010 WC etc. etc.. This guy is what you need in a team, a real team player, a leader, giving it all for it. And think about it: no tattoos, no funky car foottage, no scandals as soon as he really was an adult ;), some of the biggest coaches ever used him as their direct connection to the team - as their right hand such as Heynckes, van Gaal. Simply put: he is Fussballgott

Great Video but you should have done more research. You should have Mentioned how Louis Van Gaal saw a gem in him and how he transformed him from a winger to a CDM/CM. Also, how he formed one of the greatest combination of midfielders we've ever seen alongside Javi Martinez in the treble season campaign and how important he was for Germany in the 2014 WC.
