Bastian Schweinsteiger has come to Chicago as one of the most accomplished footballers ever. As a member of Bayern Munich, he has won the Bundesliga title eight times, the DFB-Pokal seven times, and the Champions League once. But his greatest achievement came in 2014 when he helped Germany win the World Cup after two consecutive third place finishes.
After a failed stint at Manchester United, Schweinsteiger felt like he needed a new challenge. That’s why he joined the Chicago Fire for a shot at winning silverware in another country while proving he’s still got something left in the tank.
