The German goalkeeper played well throughout the match but lacked concentration at the decisive moment.
Manuel Neuer went through a match full of emotions.
The media talked a lot about the situation where the German goalkeeper could not catch Vinicius Junior’s shot from outside the penalty area and let Joselu rush in to help Real Madrid equalize the score.
Faced with that situation, the Bayern captain also made an inaccurate kick, opening up an opportunity for the home team to re-establish the goal.
With just one mistake, a series of previous save attempts made by the German star turned out to be meaningless.
Neuer played very impressively until he conceded the goal. He made a total of 5 saves, frustrating Los Blancos’ strikers.
At the age of 38, Neuer still shows incredible reflexes. He frustrated the duo Vincius Junior with Rodrygo Goes.
But unfortunately his momentary lapse of concentration destroyed Bayern Munich’s last hope in this season, because in the domestic arena they also lost the Bundesliga crown to Bayer Leverkusen.
This is probably one of the most haunting matches in this high-class goalkeeper’s career.
Sad ending for Neuer because he also played hard throughout the journey.
The German veteran’s performance received praise from teammates and opponents alike. This will be a source of motivation for him to continue contributing.
