In an electrifying match at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich clinched a hard-earned 1-0 win against Arsenal, with Joshua Kimmich’s goal in the second half proving decisive. This victory propelled Bayern to a 3-2 aggregate win over Mikel Arteta’s side, following a 2-2 draw in the initial leg at the Emirates Stadium.
Yet, the spotlight of the game centered on Bayern’s seasoned goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, who secured another remarkable feat in Champions League history. By maintaining a clean sheet in his 138th appearance in the tournament, Neuer surpassed the legendary Iker Casillas to become the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in the competition’s history. Casillas had previously held the record with 57 clean sheets in 177 games, but Neuer’s consistent excellence has now elevated him as the premier goalkeeper in Europe’s top club competition.
Reflecting on the victory, Neuer told DAZN, “It feels good. We put in a very good performance. We gave them very little. That discipline was the deciding factor today.”
Despite savoring the glory of this milestone, Neuer remains cognizant of the forthcoming challenges. Competitors such as Jan Oblak and Marc-André ter Stegen trail behind with 35 and 32 clean sheets, respectively, potentially posing future challenges to Neuer’s record.
