Footem.in – Bayern Munich‘s narrow 2-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain revealed a surprising statistic about goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Record-Breaking Long Passes
Data from WhoScored, shared by @iMiaSanMia, shows Neuer completed an impressive 18 long passes against PSG, out of a total of 41 attempted during the match.
This isn’t just a high number for a goalkeeper; it’s the highest for any player in the Champions League this season, regardless of position.
While his goalkeeping skills are well-known, his passing ability was a real surprise.
Even top European midfielders haven’t managed that many long passes, something Neuer achieved at nearly 40 years old.
Class Never Fades
This performance confirms that the captain can still perform at the highest level. Besides important saves, his distribution shows his technical skills are still sharp.
It’s no surprise Neuer was named Player of the Match. His saves and accurate passing were a winning combination for Bayern’s important victory against PSG.
