Patrik Jonas Andersson (pronounced [ˈpɑ̌ːtrɪk ˈânːdɛˌʂɔn]; born 18 August 1971) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a defender.

Starting off his career with Malmö FF in the late 1980s, he went on to play professionally in England, Germany, and Spain, and won the 2000–01 UEFA Champions League with Bayern Munich.

In December 1992, Andersson went professional as he moved to Blackburn Rovers for a fee of £800,000,[2][3] where he stayed for one year, making just 12 Premier League appearances.

[3] He scored once for Blackburn, in a 2–1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in the second leg of the 1992–93 Football League Cup semi-final.

His time with Bayern resulted in two Bundesliga championships (in the 2000–01 championship season he scored the final and decisive goal against Hamburger SV in the last minute[7] – his only goal for the club) as well as a DFB-Pokal and victory in the 2000–01 UEFA Champions League,[8] despite missing his penalty in the final shootout.

[14] At the 2002 World Cup, in Sweden's last training session before their opening match against England, Andersson was injured and was not able to play in the tournament.
