Bastian Schweinsteiger lashes out about respect at press conference

Bastian Schweinsteiger is a man who commands respect and he thinks you should know it. Hey, are you paying attention? Because you will listen to what he says! He can do 100 push ups in 20 minute! Now focus.

From the AFP:

Two days before Bayern take on Schalke Schweinsteiger threatened and insulted the reporter, then telling him: "It's a joke what you write, you don't understand anything, you should treat me with more respect."

"I am a professional midfielder," Schweini probably said. "And people are scared of me!"

The midfielder then left the conference room, only to return to criticise Robben, who the day before had questioned Schweinsteiger's lack of authority when he was captain.

Without mentioning the Dutch international by name he said: "I'm not a small captain, when I say something everyone in the changing room listens to me."

Schweinsteiger then shouted "I drive a Dodge Stratus!" and stormed out of the room.

This is what the Copa del Rey looked like after getting run over

Former Real Madrid player Ruben de la Red tweeted this picture of the condition of the Copa del Rey trophy after Sergio "The Trophy Killer" Ramos dropped it under the moving bus. It looks like the top of the base popped off, the neck got bent and the cup appears to be squished. That should keep jeweler Federico Alegre (the trophy's creator) busy for a while.

And while he's making the necessary repairs, he might want to go ahead and Ramos-proof the thing. Maybe attach a layer of Nerf material to the outside of it or just put an electric field around it that gives The Ramos a severe shock whenever he gets too close.

A Mexico City derby with huge implications: America, the biggest club in the country (sorry, Chivas fans), is 50/50 in terms of the postseason, and it might require a victory in this regular-season finale -- over the best club in Mexico at the moment -- to reach the final eight.
