63 Quotes by Bastian Schweinsteiger

When our players come from somewhere else, they sometimes show happiness when the game is 0-0 or 1-1, but we were brought up in an environment where we have to win. We are not satisfied with 0-0 or 1-1. This is the mentality of Bayern Munich.

I know most of Europe do not want to play against Bayern Munich.

It's incredibly difficult to make sure that everybody's happy.
