Neuer has etched his name into history! Legendary goalkeeper sets yet another record

Manuel Neuer continues to rewrite the history of German football. The Bayern goalkeeper took to the field in the Bundesliga matchday 9 clash with Mainz and achieved a unique milestone.

According to OptaFranz, at the age of 40 years and 225 days, Neuer became the oldest player in Bayern's history to appear in a Bundesliga match. Among goalkeepers, he ranks third in terms of age in the tournament's history.

Only Uli Stein, who ended his career at the age of 42 years and 170 days, and Toni Schumacher, who played at the age of 42 years and 73 days, were older than the legendary Bayern goalkeeper in Germany's top flight.
