Manuel Neuer Career

Neuer Bayern Schalke

Neuer began his career by playing for his hometown club, Schalke 04 II from 2003 to 2009 (for four seasons). In 2005, he signed professional terms after progressing through every age group at the club. During the 05/06 season, he did not make any first team appearances. Still at the club, Neuer made his Bundesliga debut as a substitute for an injured Frank Rost on the 2nd day of matches in the 05/06 season.

At 20 years old, Neuer got the starting position when Rost was surprisingly dropped for the crunch clash against Bayern Munich. He managed a 2-2 draw against the defending champions. By the end of the 06/07 season, he had made 27 league appearances.

He began his 07/08 season with three matches in the German League Cup. He was good that during the first knockout round of the UEFA Champions League against Porto on 5th March 2008, he almost kept Schalke in the game single-handedly with several saves and leading the game into penalties. His save of Bruno Alves and Lisandro López’s penalties helped Schalke secure a position in the quarter-finals. He got shortlisted for the 2007–08 UEFA Club Goalkeeper of the Year award due to his heroic performances. He was the only Bundesliga goalkeeper on the list but most importantly, the youngest. In that season, he made 50 appearances.

At the 2009 Under-21 European Championships, his performances caught the attention of Bayern Munich, with Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge declaring interest in signing the young goalkeeper though his manger (for Schalke) insisted that Neuer would play for the club the next season.

He got appointed as the team’s captain for the 10/11 season and led the team to its first Champions League semi-final. In his final season with Schalke, he won the DFB Pokal as Schalke defeated MSV Duisburg 5–0. He made the announcement that he would not extend his contract that was set to expire at the end of the 2011–12 season on 20th April 2011.

Neuer Bayern Munich

Neuer made a move to Bayern Munich in July 2011 and on 1st he signed a five-year contract that lasted until June 2016. He faced hostility from the fans at first but after the club held a meeting with a group of the supporters’ representatives, it was agreed that Neuer would be regarded as a full member of the FC Bayern Munich team and be treated with due respect.

He went ahead to play for Bayern and even helped Bayern hrough the 2011–12 Champions League semi-finals against Real Madrid by saving penalty kicks from both Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaká. Bayern progressed to the 2012 UEFA Champions League Final against Chelsea, which also went to a penalty shoot-out after a 1–1 draw. He took the third penalty and scored as well as saved the first taken by Juan Mata but couldn’t save the rest and Bayern lost 4–3 on penalties in their home stadium, the Allianz Arena.

The 12/13 season began with Neuer winning the 2012 DFL-Supercup and he posted four clean sheets in a row versus both Juventus and Barcelona in the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League knockout phase. While they were against Borussia Dortmund in the 2013 Champions League Final, Neuer posted eight saves en route to Bayern’s fifth Champions League title.

The 13/14 season began with Bayern losing the 2013 DFL-Supercup to Borussia Dortmund. They however won the 2013 UEFA Super Cup, on 30 August 2013, as he saved the last and decisive penalty in their match against Chelsea. He was announced as the 2013 World Goalkeeper of the year on 7 January 2014. He extended his contract on 2 May 2014 until the summer of 2019.

2014-15 season was a particularly great moment for Neuer as he was voted into the UEFA Team of the Year, won the German footballer of the year and finished third in the FIFA Ballon d’Or. I was also sad as Bayern lost the 2014 DFL-Supercup to Borussia Dortmund. He extended his contract with Bayern until 2021 on 20 April 2016.

In the 16/17 season, FC Bayern won the DFL-Supercup title for the first time in three years and Neuer kept a clean sheet in the Bundesliga opener as FC Bayern grabbed a 6–0 win over Werder Bremen. He got voted into FIFA Team of the Year alongside fellow German and former Bayern teammate Toni Kroos in January 2017. He suffered a left foot fracture thus ending his season abruptly as Bayern lost 4–2 in a controversial match. Bayern ended the season as Bundesliga champions.

Following Philipp Lahm’s retirement, an announcement was made on 19th July 2017 that Neuer would become the captain of Bayern, making him a double captain of both Bayern and Germany national football team. He made his 100th European appearance on 13 September 2017 in the Champions League match as his side won 3–0 over Anderlecht. He suffered another fracture to his leg and the club announced that he would be ruled out from September to January 2018.

He rejoined the team on 20th April 2018 after a series of delays on his comeback though he had begun goalkeeping specific training in early April. He remained an unused substitute in the DFB-Pokal final against Eintracht Frankfurt and he finished the season with three Bundesliga matches and a Champions League match.

Neuer captained his side in the first competitive match of the season on 12 August 2018 as Bayern won the 2018 DFL-Supercup by defeating Eintracht Frankfurt with a 5–0 victory. He played his first Bundesliga game in 341 days on 24 August when he captained Bayern in the season opener against Hoffenheim.
