"A world-class player": FC Bayern Munich club legend praises Aleksandar Pavlovic

Aleksandar Pavlovic is currently impressing not only at Säbener Straße, but is also making a name for himself in Julian Nagelsmann's squad. Bayern legend Bastian Schweinsteiger predicts a brilliant career for the 21-year-old in the national team.

Speaking to the Münchner Abendzeitung, the former national team captain stressed the exceptional quality he sees in the Munich-born talent. When asked about the future pecking order, Schweinsteiger said: "Kimmich must be mentioned first as a leader, and I'd also like to see Pavlovic step into that role."

Above all, the way the FC Bayern midfielder has established himself earns the respect of the 2014 World Cup winner. "He has developed superbly at Bayern and plays a key role there," emphasised the 40-year-old.
In his expert view, Pavlovic has already established himself as a key figure in the Germany squad. "We have world-class players. I'm thinking in particular of Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala, Aleksandar Pavlovic and Florian Wirtz," he explained.
