Germany World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger has paid tribute to Nicolai Schuster, one of the victims of the Berkeley tragedy which claimed the lives of six Irish students.

After friends of Schuster (21) contacted the Bayern Munich star, Schweinsteiger shared a photo of the pair together and also added a heartfelt message paying tribute to the student on his official Facebook page:
