Manuel Neuer went full Manuel Neuer as he breaks Bundesliga record

Manuel Neuer’s status as one of the greatest goalkeepers in football history is already safely secured.

The Bayern Munich and Germany shot-stopper’s name will sit alongside the likes of Lev Yashin, Peter Schmeichel and Gianluigi Buffon in the pantheon of all-time greats when he hangs up his gloves.

Neuer, who turns 36 this month, is often credited for revolutionising goalkeeping. The ultimate sweeper-keeper, it’s not uncommon to see Neuer charging out of his penalty area, even in the biggest matches.

This audacious approach to goalkeeping has cost him at times, but there’s absolutely no doubt that he makes the right call more often than not.

Neuer played the full 90 minutes as Bundesliga leaders Bayern sealed an emphatic 4-0 victory over Union Berlin on Saturday.

The 6ft 4in ‘keeper pulled off a couple of superb saves to keep his clean sheet intact.

Neuer also broke a prestigious record in the process, overtaking former Bayern goalkeeper Oliver Kahn’s record as the player with the most Bundesliga wins to their name.

This was the 311th Bundesliga win of Neuer’s remarkable career.
