Manuel Neuer wouldn’t be Manuel Neuer if he didn’t once again intercept one or two balls far away from his own goal today.
However, if the Bayern star is even a little superstitious, he might want to think twice about sprinting out of his box at every opportunity.
Exactly one year ago, the keeper was shown a red card in the cup round of 16 against Bayer Leverkusen—after he had prevented Leverkusen’s Frimpong from finishing with a challenge.
FCB was subsequently eliminated 0-1, and until tonight against Union, Neuer hadn’t played in a single DFB-Pokal match since then.
A bad omen?
