Neuer continues to display top-class goalkeeping skills despite his age.
Details: After yesterday's victory over Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Bayern Munich's 40-year-old goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was asked by a journalist about his chances of playing in the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
However, those hoping to hear that Neuer had agreed to go to the World Cup were left disappointed, as the goalkeeper's decision remains unchanged:
"Everything has already been said about this.
Right now, the main focus is the rest of the season with Bayern." — he told SkyDE in an interview.
Manuel Neuer has definitively ruled out a return to the German national team and confirmed that he will not play at the 2026 World Cup. The 39-year-old goalkeeper decided to end his international career after Euro 2024, making way for a new generation and focusing on his performances for Bayern.
Neuer made his debut for the German national team back in 2009 and played 124 matches for his country.
Reminder: Bayern end a 14-year winless run against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League
