Bayern legend Maier potentially joining forces with Neuer amidst Henkelpot's threatened position?
Manuel Neuer Aims to Join Champions League Elite
Manuel Neuer, the legendary goalkeeper for Bayern Munich, is setting his sights on a lofty goal: joining the all-time top 5 ranking of the Champions League. Currently, Neuer is chasing down Toni Kroos and Xavi, who are currently in the top 5.
Neuer's ambition doesn't stop there. He is also aiming to win the Champions League a third time, a feat achieved only by Sepp Maier, another Bayern Munich legend. Maier won three consecutive titles from 1974 to 1976.
Speaking of Sepp Maier, Neuer and Maier are the only goalkeepers to have won the World Cup for Germany. Neuer lifted the trophy in 2014, while Maier triumphed in 1974.
Neuer's current form is impressive, with the 38-year-old making long-range throws to the midfield line with ease. His contract with Bayern Munich has been extended until 2026.
Meanwhile, another Bayern Munich legend, Thomas Müller, has made a move. After spending 25 years with the club, Müller has joined the North American Major League Soccer (MLS) team, Vancouver Whitecaps. Müller, who turned 36 in 2023, is the record player for Bayern Munich with a total of 756 competitive games and the record champion with 13 titles.
Neuer and Müller share a mutual respect for each other, but a mutual miss as well. Neuer has commented on Müller's new beard style, expressing his surprise but accepting Müller's decision.
Interestingly, if Marc-André ter Stegen is not the number one for the German national team in the second half of the season, there might be speculation about Neuer's potential return. However, Neuer himself has decided not to play for the German national team anymore.
Looking ahead, the 2026 World Cup will be held in North America. As for Neuer, he will turn 40 at the end of March, but his passion for the game remains undiminished.
In conclusion, Manuel Neuer continues to strive for greatness, aiming to join the elite ranks of the Champions League and solidify his legacy as one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of Bayern Munich.
