The one fly in the ointment of an otherwise perfect conclusion to the Bundesliga season came towards the end of the first half of Saturday’s meeting with Stuttgart when Bastian Schweinsteiger was forced out of the action after taking a knock to the left knee. The player will undergo an MRI scan on Monday to determine the seriousness of the damage. “Bastian has a problem with his kneecap,” Pep Guardiola announced at the post-match press conference, “but we still have six days to go [until the cup final].”
