Final score and result:- Germany vs Finland 2-0 (Meyer, Arajuuri OG)
Stadion IM Borussia Park, Monchengladbach- 31 August, 2016- Friendly
Bastian Schweinsteiger signs off from international football as Germany beat Finland 2-0 in Monchengladbach
With Joe Hart’s move to Torino all but done, the 29 year old will become the first England keeper to ply his trade in Serie A since the inception of the league in 1929/30.
It’s also a coup of sorts for Torino, who will reportedly have to pay Hart only 1 million euros in salary (less than a third of his overall salary), with City bearing the rest of his wages.
The likes of Paul Ince, Paul Gascoigne and David Beckham have all had spells in Italy, but no English keeper has played there till now, and it’s more remarkable because Hart is currently No.1 for the Three Lions and was under the sticks for their Euro 2016 campaign.
Hart was forced to look for options after new Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola informed him that he was not part of his future plans
Bastian Schweinsteiger will bring down the curtains on an illustrious career with the German national team in their friendly against Finland in Monchengladbach tomorrow night. The midfielder, who made his debut for Die Mannschaft in 2004 against Hungary (a game Rudi Voller’s side lost 2-0), has earned 120 caps for the national team, and will captain the side in his final international appearance at Stadion IM Borussia Park. Low is then expected to appoint the country’s next skipper after the game, with Manuel Neuer and Jerome Boateng expected to be the favourites to take over the armband.
The Finnish friendly was also supposed to be a farewell game for Lukas Podolski, but the forward has injured himself and his final game will therefore be postponed to March next year
