Club career

TSV 1860 Munich

Weigl began his career in 2001 in the youth team at SV Ostermünchen . Through TSV 1860 Rosenheim he came to the youth training center of TSV 1860 Munich . As captain of the U-19 team, he signed a contract with TSV that ran until 2016 in March 2013. From July 2013 he played in the second team.

On 21 day of the 2013/14 season debuted Weigl in the first team of 1860 in the 2nd Bundesliga when he away in the 0: 2 defeat against FC Ingolstadt 04 in the 66th minute for Yannick Stark substitute has been. On February 27, 2014, he signed a professional contract valid until 2017.

At the beginning of the 2014/15 season, weigl was appointed by coach Ricardo Moniz at the age of 18 as the club's youngest team captain. After he was temporarily excluded from playing and training with the first team for disciplinary reasons after two match days, he lost the captain's armband to Christopher Schindler . The reason for the measure was a nocturnal excursion that Weigl took with his teammates Vitus Eicher , Daniel Adlung and Yannick Stark, during which there are said to have been negative comments about the club.

Borussia Dortmund

For the 2015/16 season , Weigl moved to the Bundesliga for Borussia Dortmund . He received a contract that ran until June 30, 2019. In his first season at BVB he established himself as a regular player and played 50 competitive games. On matchday 34 of the 2015/16 Bundesliga season , he set a new Bundesliga record: In the game against 1. FC Köln , he had 214 ball contacts before he was substituted in the 83rd minute. The previous high was 206 contacts from Xabi Alonso . On December 20, 2016, the extension of his contract term to June 30, 2021 was announced. In 2017, Weigl won the DFB Cup with Borussia Dortmund and thus the first major title of his career. He was not used in the 2-1 final win against Eintracht Frankfurt due to an injury.

He scored his first Bundesliga goal on September 23, 2017 in the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach with the goal to make it 6-1. After he had mostly been part of the starting eleven until summer 2018, he was only used sporadically in the Hinserie under the new coach Lucien Favre , from the second half of the season more often, but in an unfamiliar but sovereign position in central defense. In the 178th Revierderby (31st matchday, 2: 4), Weigl played for BVB in the Bundesliga for the hundredth time.

In August 2019, Weigl won the DFL Supercup with the club after beating FC Bayern Munich 2-0 .

Before his move, the midfielder and at times defender had played 171 competitive games for BVB's first team (four goals) in four and a half years.

Benfica Lisbon

On January 1, 2020, Weigl moved to Portugal to the Portuguese first division club Benfica Lisbon , where he received a four-year contract that includes a release clause of 100 million euros. TSV 1860, from which Weigl moved to Dortmund, is said to have received 10% of the sales proceeds of its former player. In the second round of the Europa League , the German could only complete the second leg against Shakhtar Donetsk for Benfica due to a yellow card suspension and was eliminated with the team. On June 4, 2020, Weigl was hospitalized after an attack on the Benfica team bus, injured after being hit by splinters from a broken window. With Benfica he was runner-up behind FC Porto , played 21 games this season and was a regular in the defensive midfield from matchday 16.

National team

Weigl made four short appearances for the German U19 national team between September 2013 and June 2014 before moving up to the U20 national team. With her he took part in the U20 World Cup in New Zealand, where he failed with the team in the quarter-finals to Mali . From September 2015 Weigl was part of the U21 national team and played with it the first part of the ultimately successful qualification for the U21 European Championship 2017 .

On May 29, 2016, Weigl had his first appearance for the senior national team in Augsburg . In the 1: 3 defeat against Slovakia in the preparatory game for the European Championship in France, which began twelve days later , he was substituted on by national coach Joachim Löw in the second half. His performance in the game that continued after a heavy thunderstorm under adverse field conditions was rated 3 by the specialist magazine Kicker . He was then also appointed to the final squad for the European Championship, but as one of two field players he was not used in the tournament.

After the European Championship, he only made four appearances for the national team and has not been considered since March 2017.
