🤯 Too old? Neuer back in prime mode against Real
🤯 Too old? Neuer back in prime mode against Real Manuel Neuer once again came under fire after conceding two goals in Freiburg on Saturday. He did not look particularly good on either goal and even completely missed the ball once in the six-yard box.
As if the Bayern goalkeeper, who has just celebrated his 40th birthday, had really taken that criticism to heart, he has already shown in the currently ongoing Champions League quarter-final between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich that he is by no means too old or past his best! After just under half an hour, Neuer dived down in world-class fashion and saved a low shot from Real superstar Mbappé aimed at the bottom-left corner (29'). Even earlier in the game, Neuer was absolutely on point twice when Real became dangerous on the counter.
In the 16th minute, he intervened against Mbappé again, and just two minutes later he blocked a shot from Vini Junior. A world-class goalkeeper is simply essential if you want to go far in the Champions League — and Manuel Neuer has already proven several times today that this absolutely still applies to him.
