Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has had a legendary career, but even for someone who has done it for as long as the 40-year-old, there is always something you have not seen before.
Unfortunately for Neuer, he set the kind of standard that no one wants to be associated with during his team’s 5-4 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Check out this stat below from ESPN:
It was not a banner game for Neuer, but the veteran was far from the only player who scuffled against the high octane attack of PSG. As expected, the entire backline was under consistent duress and Neuer was at the mercy of whether or not PSG’s vaunted attacking group was going to put their shots on frame.
Unfortunately for Neuer, the shots that were on target were in places that he could not get to. A case could be made that Neuer guessed wrong in some instances, but PSG was ruthless and able to score just enough to pull out the victory.
Neuer will not want to remember this result, but he will want to learn from it.
