"While Bayern Munich fell short in the Champions League against the mighty Paris Saint-Germain, Neuer's goalkeeping was not a point of criticism in the second leg. Neuer made some massive saves, giving the Bavarians the opportunity to go and win the game, in which they couldn't get over the line. Despite this, Neuer has shown he is still capable to have special performances."
"When you come here as a young goalkeeper like Jonas Urbig and have the opportunity to work with this goalkeeping team, that's something special. The remarkable thing is how they treat each other. You notice there's a very good atmosphere. Manu is passing on his experience and producing great performances. Jonas benefits from that. Everyone knows that when someone like Manu defines an era, succeeding him is a big challenge."
"While it would be great to see Urbig get more appearances, perhaps the opportunity to learn from the greatest goalkeeper of all time is a better one. An opportunity he surely appreciates, which is important. This situation is one that could easily frustrate a young and confident goalkeeper, but that doesn't seem to be an issue with Urbig."
Bayern Munich lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, but Manuel Neuer’s goalkeeping drew no criticism in the second leg. Neuer made major saves that kept Bayern in contention and created chances to win, even though they could not finish the match. Neuer continues to show he can deliver special performances. As Neuer looks to extend his time in Munich, attention turns to Jonas Urbig, who has the ability to be Bayern’s number one but must wait to unseat Neuer. Urbig benefits from working with the goalkeeping team, including Manu’s experience and the positive atmosphere. Urbig is portrayed as appreciating the learning opportunity without becoming frustrated.
