There is no one like Manuel Neuer and that is a fact.
As he has done several times before, Neuer turned Bayern Munich hero vs. RB Leipzig.
The Bavarians in their first game of the second half of the season faced RB Leipzig away. If they managed to go home with a 5-1 win, it was majorly by dint of a solid goalkeeping job by Neuer.
Here’s a great example of how good a job the captain did — his save against Diomande in the 72nd minute.
Purely reflexive, and at his age, he still has not lost his touch.
So naturally the consensus was that he not retire — his age clearly meant nothing. An interview transcribed by @iMiaSanMia asked for Neuer’s take on the same.
“When we see your save against Diomande, you can’t retire in the summer, can you?”
The keeper responded curtly — “We’ll see. I can’t answer that right now,”
“But it was of course important,” he said, speaking on the save itself. It was certainly important because it retained Bayern’s momentum and indirectly led to the goal spree that Bayern managed to end the game on.
What do you think? How close does Neuer look to retiring? Let us know in the comments.
