Schweinsteiger names one Real Madrid player who shows 'high level' at World Cup, his team is out already

"Germany only have one high-level defender and that's Antonio Rudiger. The others are just Bundesliga quality," Bastian Schweinsteiger told the media after the Costa Rica-Germany game, via Deutsche Welle.

Indeed, Rudiger was perhaps the only standout performer in Germany's defence at this World Cup. The centre-back was also very dangerous in front of goal and could've bagged a couple of goals here.

Germany left the World Cup after failing to qualify for the last 16. They lost to Japan, shared the spoils with Spain and beat Costa Rica with just a 2-goal difference.
