Neuer’s journey in football has firmly etched his name among the legends of the sport. His triumphs include securing the World Cup with Germany and a multitude of accolades with Bayern Munich. Moreover, Neuer’s playing style has reshaped the perception of goalkeeping, introducing the concept of the ‘sweeper-keeper’ by his adeptness with the ball and his readiness to venture far from the goal line.
Teammate Gomez, who shared the field with Neuer both domestically and internationally, showered accolades upon the goalkeeper, likening his impact on modern football to that of Lionel Messi. Messi, hailed as the pinnacle of football prowess, currently showcases his skills in the MLS with Inter Miami, elevating the league’s stature and attracting record audiences.
In an interview with Bild’s ‘Phrasenmäher’ podcast, former German international Gomez asserted, “I would put Manuel Neuer on par with Messi in terms of importance for the game. I don’t even know if we are all aware of what we experienced with a goalkeeper who revolutionized the entire game. Only in 20 years will we realize this. He is the goalkeeper who made everyone realize that feet are as important as hands. The way he masters both is incredible.”
Neuer returns to action on Wednesday for a pivotal Champions League quarter-final clash against Arsenal at the Allianz Arena, with the tie finely poised at 2-2 following the initial encounter in London. Having already clinched the prestigious Champions League twice, Neuer sets his sights on a third triumph in this season’s campaign.
