"Against Pafos this past week, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer became joint fifth-highest in the all-time Champions League appearances list. For most it would be a grand, monumental, once-in-a-lifetime achievement. For him, it was literally just Tuesday. The week before, he had become the oldest Bayern player to play in the UCL (and, one supposes, he broke what was now his own record again by 7 days against Pafos)."
"Throughout his career at both Bayern and Schalke, Neuer has been edging closer and closer to breaking the record. He now has the chance to break the record now held jointly by him and his old friend by winning against Borussia Dortmund as soon as the international break ends. Somehow, one knows that Müller will be the first to congratulate him if he does."
Manuel Neuer equalled Thomas Müller’s Bundesliga record for most wins (362). Neuer recently became joint fifth-highest in all-time Champions League appearances and set a Bayern record as the oldest player to appear in the UCL. Bayern Munich defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0, avoiding a potential trap game by maintaining intensity and securing a clear victory. The win included tactical substitutions and multiple goals that preserved Bayern’s momentum heading into the international break. Neuer has the immediate opportunity to surpass the shared Bundesliga wins record in the upcoming match against Borussia Dortmund. Thomas Müller is expected to congratulate Neuer if the record is broken.
