Badstuber, a Bayern youth academy product, was an imperative part of the Bayern team that made it to the Champions League final in 2012, only to heartbreakingly lose to a Chelsea team that seemed destined to win that tournament. Only 23-years-old at the time, it seemed like the young German had the world at his feet.
Fast-forward to four years later, in a time that he’s been able to make only 43 appearances in all competitions in that time and you begin to understand what a torrid time he’s had with long term injuries.
With Mats Hummels just having been signed by Bayern, he’s going to have to fight for his place in the first team although it’ll help that the German can play at left back as well. If he manages to reclaim his place in the starting lineup and with the brilliant Carlo Ancelotti at the helm, Bayern could well have another successful Champions League campaign.
