Dream start for Bayern? Neuer insists: "There are things we can improve" | OneFootball

FC Bayern continued their impressive winning streak and defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 3:0 on Saturday evening Eintracht Frankfurt with a 3:0 victory. However, captain Manuel Neuer did not want to let any euphoria arise after the final whistle - instead, he immediately looked forward.

"It was a confident away win. We played very well today, with and without the ball, in pressing, in defense in the penalty area and in ball control," the 39-year-old explained in an interview with Sky. "In the second half, we also had good counterattacks and were able to score the third goal from one of them."

The five-time world goalkeeper was satisfied with the team's development under coach Vincent Kompany: "You can feel that the automatisms are getting better and every player knows his role." At the same time, Neuer warned against resting on success: "Of course there are always things we can do better. It's always about looking forward and preparing for the next game."

Neuer equals Bundesliga record: numbers that impress

In addition to the victory, the Bayern captain also celebrated a personal milestone: With his 362nd Bundesliga victory Neuer equalled club legend Thomas Müller - no player has won more often in the history of the German top flight.

Whether he will continue to expand this mark in the coming season remains to be seen. His contract expires in the summer of 2026. Neuer did not want to comment on a possible extension.

The statistics underline the outstanding start to the season for the Munich team: 25 goals after six matchdays - a new Bundesliga record. In addition, Bayern won eight league matches in a row for the first time since 2020. The record champions are also a force away from home: none of the last twelve Bundesliga away games were lost.

Manuel Neuer's focus remains clear: "We have a good feeling, but the crucial thing will be to maintain this level - and to get even better at the right moment."
