"Just a few days prior to the match against Real Madrid, Manuel Neuer was lambasted for the two goals he conceded in Bayern Munich's last-gasp 3-2 victory over SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga and his quality, given he had just turned 40, was once again called into question."
"That he can put in these kinds of performances at his age does indeed of a tremendous longevity that very few goalkeepers can boast."
"Look, everybody can have their own choice, but Manu is one of the very few. He's been doing it for a very, very long time. Not many keepers are able to perform at this age."
"Whether one has another favorite or not, it is difficult to not include in the conversations to be the best of all time."
Manuel Neuer faced criticism for his performance before a match against Real Madrid but delivered an outstanding display, leading Bayern Munich to a 2-1 victory. His longevity and ability to perform at a high level at 40 years old sparked discussions about his place in history. Vincent Kompany acknowledged Neuer's exceptional career, noting that few goalkeepers maintain such performance into their 40s. Neuer's achievements include redefining goalkeeping, earning a Ballon D'or podium finish, and winning major titles like the World Cup and Champions League.
