UCL: We saw ourselves in final – Neuer ‘bitter’ after mistake against Madrid

1 week ago

Bayern goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, has said he feels bad after his mistake allowed Real Madrid equalize in their 2-1 defeat in the Champions League semi-final second leg.

Alphonso Davies gave the Bundesliga giants the lead in the second half.

But Neuer fumbled Vinicius Jr’s weak effort, allowing Joselu to make it 1-1.

Joselu then converted Antonio Rudiger’s cross to ensure Real qualified for the final, where they will face Borussia Dortmund.

Neuer, speaking to DAZN, said: “Anyone who’s ever played football knows how I’m feeling right now.

“That we’ve been knocked out in the closing stages, having led 1-0 until the 88th minute, it’s extremely bitter.

“We’d taken one step to London, we saw ourselves in the final and now I’m lost for words.”
