Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer speaks out after making Champions League howler in Real Madrid defeat
Manuel Neuer has spoken out after his shocking howler cost Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.
Bayern were just a few minutes away from setting up an all-German Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund as they led Madrid 3-2 on aggregate following Alphonso Davies’ stunning opener at the Bernabeu.
But Neuer, who had made several brilliant saves on the night, then made a huge mistake, spilling Vinicius Junior’s strike into the path of Joselu, who pounced to level the tie on 88 minutes.
Extra-time was beckoning but Joselu then scored an injury-time winner to send the Bernabeu wild and Bayern Munich crashing out of the Champions League.
