• Accident near Bayern Munich training base: emergency services called to the scene

In just the 17th minute, Bayern was reduced to ten men after goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was shown a straight red card. The incident occurred when Neuer rushed out of his penalty area and collided with Bayer’s Jeremie Frimpong.

Notably, this is the first career suspension for the experienced goalie. After 21 seasons and 923 games at the professional level.

Social networks are already in full swing discussing the historic removal of the goalkeeper.

“He should have gotten a red card in the 2014 World Cup final for trying to kill Higuain. If VAR had existed then, Messi would have won 2 World Cups”.

“Wait, are we playing football or rugby now?”

“Leave the football before the football leaves you”

“Deserved red. easily one of the most overrated goalkeepers of all time”.

“He should be arrested for this”.
