Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has refused to be drawn on who is the best goalkeeper of all time, claiming that in each era, a different shot-stopper could be given the title. Neuer is one of the names in the conversation, alongside his would-be opposite number, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.<\/p>\n
Neuer has been one of the 21st century\u2019s most iconic goalkeepers, but did make an error against Los Blancos during their meeting in the 2024 semi-finals. Neuer said that his team were not speaking about game in the build-up.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. We know about their track record in this competition, but when you\u2019re a professional, you live in the moment. And now we\u2019re playing against this Real Madrid. A team that, if they have a good day, can beat anyone. But so can we. We beat them at the Bernab\u00e9u, in fact. It\u2019s an advantage to play at the Allianz Arena,\u201d he told Diario AS<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n Neuer continued manager Vincent Kompany\u2019s cautious approach<\/a>, noting that his side\u2019s advantage was slender, amid talk off a potential comeback.<\/p>\n \u201cThe only advantage is that we have a one-goal lead, but it\u2019s Real Madrid, a very tough challenge. We\u2019re lucky to be playing the second leg at home and we\u2019re counting on the fans. We\u2019re very motivated and ready. It\u2019s a good situation\u2026 but we have to be careful, because we\u2019ve seen in the past how Real Madrid can win.\u201d<\/p>\n \n Neuer was also asked whom he believed to be the best goalkeeper of all time.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s difficult, it depends on the era. In recent years\u2026 it\u2019s not enough to say 2-3, there are many and each one has their own style. For Real Madrid, right now, it\u2019s difficult not to have Courtois. But if we look at the past, Schmeichel, Kahn, Buffon, Casillas\u2026 they\u2019re all very good. I don\u2019t see one as the best of all time, it depends on the era.\u201d<\/p>\n Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa commented earlier in the season that Courtois was in his view, the best goalkeeper<\/a> he had ever seen at the Santiago Bernabeu. Certainly the Belgian is for many top of the lot in Spain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Manuel Neuer on greatest goalkeeper of all time debate: ‘It depends on the era’<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has refused to be drawn on who is the best goalkeeper of all time, claiming that in each…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6017,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6015"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6015"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6015\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6016,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6015\/revisions\/6016"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Manuel Neuer: \u2018The only advantage is a goal\u2019<\/h2>\n
