Manuel Neuer was upset after Bayern Munich's 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain, particularly regarding a challenge by PSG's Gianluigi Donnarumma on Jamal Musiala. Neuer believed the challenge was unnecessary and expressed concern for Musiala's wellbeing. He confronted Donnarumma, suggesting he should check on Musiala, highlighting respect and fair play as crucial elements in the sport. The potential seriousness of Musiala's injury overshadowed the match's final score, raising worries about its impact on the team's future performance.
"It was a situation where you don't have to go in like that. That's risk-taking. He was prepared to accept the risk of injuring his opponent," Neuer told Sky Germany's Kerry Hau.
"I went to him and said, 'Don't you want to go and see our player?' It's a matter of respect, of going there and wishing the guy all the best. He then did it."
