| Bastian chopping off Rooney's legs |
Bayern Munich and Manchester United played to a 1-1 draw Tuesday in the first leg of a Champions League quarterfinal. Nemanja Vidic got the Red Devils on the board in the 58th minute while Bastian Schweinsteiger notched the equalizer for the defending champs in the 66th minute. But it was a moment between United star Wayne Rooney and the Bayern vice-captain that had Old Trafford buzzing. After the German drew a yellow card earlier in the second half, Rooney had possession late in the match when Schweinsteiger went in for the tackle. The tackle was soooo bad that Rooney's legs ripped off his body, as the United star fell in pain screaming "Murder".
A report by The Mirror said that following the end of the match Rooney immediately went to file a lawsuit against Schweinsteiger for attempt to murder. The local Police have confirmed the news.
When contacted the Manchester police, Officer Grant, said that "Yes Rooney was here, the injury looked real bad and he was fuming with anger. We gave him the required documents to fill out the lawsuit, however after 20 mins later he suddenly gets up and walks away"
A neighborhood kid who was also present at the scene said "I was there to complaint of these kids bullying me always. Suddenly i see Wayne also there. He sits beside me and keeps asking me to spell some name called "Shwinetiger", we tried many combinations. Since we both couldn't figure out the right spelling he got frustrated and left".
An unhappy Schweinsteiger twice spoke to Rooney about the incident before walking off.
Schweinsteiger is suspended for the return leg at the Allianz Arena on 9 April, along with Javi Martínez, although with Mario Götze, who was rested, and Dante to return Pep Guardiola has options available.
The English press is calling for Schweinstiger' s head, as now their only hope for winning the World Cup has huge chances of missing it.
