Yesterday, Bayern Munich defeated Lazio 3-0 in Munich, securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals despite their previous 0-1 loss in Rome. The legendary Manuel Neuer once again guarded the team's goal under the management of Thomas Tuchel.

This clean sheet marked Neuer's 57th in his entire UEFA Champions League career, equalling the record set by the tournament's legend, Iker Casillas.

If Neuer manages another clean sheet in a Champions League match, he will become the absolute record holder.

Top 5 goalkeepers by the number of clean sheets in the history of the UEFA Champions League (excluding qualification matches):

  • Manuel Neuer – 57
  • Iker Casillas – 57
  • Gianluigi Buffon – 52
  • Edwin van der Sar – 50
  • Petr Cech – 49

Bayern Munich will find out their quarterfinal opponent in the UEFA Champions League on March 15th.
