Manuel Neuer sets new record with Bayern Munich
The German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has continued to write history, as he became the oldest player to wear the Bayern Munich shirt in Bundesliga history, participating as a starter against Mainz at the age of 40 years and 225 days.
Manuel Neuer has surpassed the previous record held by Bernd Dreher, who played a match for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga at the age of 40 years and 198 days, adding another achievement to his exceptional career with the German giant.
This figure confirms Manuel Neuer's historical status at Bayern Munich, as he continues to perform at the highest levels of football despite reaching forty, making him one of the most influential goalkeepers in the history of the club and German football.
However, the evening was not without bad news, as Manuel Neuer suffered a foot injury during the match against Mainz, forcing him to leave the pitch in the 40th minute, with substitute goalkeeper Jonas Urbig coming on in his place, amid anticipation regarding the severity of the injury and the potential duration of his absence.
