Real Madrid certainly gave Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer plenty to do during this Tuesday’s (7) Champions League clash.
Bayern will take a 2-1 advantage into next week’s return leg at the Allianz Arena after goals from Luis Diaz and Harry Kane led the German side to victory.
But the real star of the match was Manuel Neuer, who, at 40 years old, made top-class saves to deny Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe on several occasions.
In fact, the former Germany international goalkeeper delivered one of his most efficient Champions League performances in nearly a decade.
Neuer made nine saves against Real, his highest total in a game for Bayern Munich since November 2020.
This was also his highest number of saves in a Champions League knockout match since April 2017, also against Real Madrid, when he made 10.
So, what did you think of the big keeper’s performance?
