Manuel Neuer, el jugador más viejo del Bayern

¿Puede un guardameta de 40 años seguir batiendo récords? Neuer se convirtió en el jugador más veterano del Bayern en la Bundesliga al participar en la victoria del domingo ante Mainz, aunque tuvo que abandonar el campo por una lesión.

Neuer’s latest appearance, his 394th Bundesliga for Bayern since his switch from Schalke in 2011, and his 550th overall, came at age 40 years and 225 days, moving him past Bernd Dreher at the top of the rankings.

However, it ended on a sour note, as he was forced off shortly before half-time due to an injury suffered in the build-up to a disallowed Mainz goal.

After the game, Bayern sporting director Max Eberl said: «It’s the same problem that was already present in his foot. It’s resurfaced now. We hope it’s not too serious. He’ll be examined this evening, then we’ll have to see. It would be extremely disappointing for us if he were to be sidelined again so soon.»
