GOAT debate over? Neuer hits Bundesliga milestone | OneFootball

Another milestone for Manuel Neuer: The FC Bayern goalkeeper has made his mark in the Bundesliga history books with a 2-1 victory in the classic match against Borussia Dortmund. With his 363rd win, the 39-year-old is now the sole record holder, surpassing his long-time companion Thomas Müller.

With the narrow but well-deserved 2-1 home victory against Borussia Dortmund, Manuel Neuer made Bundesliga history on Saturday evening. The Bayern captain celebrated his 363rd win in Germany's top division – no other player has won more before.

This achievement pushes the 2014 World Cup winner's long-time teammate Thomas Müller (362 wins) to second place. Remarkably, while Müller needed 503 matches for his record, Neuer required 530 appearances to claim the sole record.

A Legend Sets New Standards

With his latest success, Manuel Neuer once again underscores his extraordinary career. Since his Bundesliga debut in August 2006 for FC Schalke 04, he has been one of the most influential figures in German football. In 2011, he moved to FC Bayern – and developed into a constant success guarantor there.

In 13 years with the record champions, Neuer collected titles in series: eleven German championships, two Champions League titles, two Club World Cups, and countless cup victories. Added to this are individual awards, including multiple selections as the World Goalkeeper of the Year.

Particularly interesting: According to current reports, the keeper is on the verge of another extension with FC Bayern until 2027. Should this actually happen, the FCB captain will significantly expand his leading position.
