Lionel Messi has scored over 600 goals for Barcelona and Manchester City, but he is not the only player in football history to have achieved such a feat.
One of the most impressive records in world football belongs to Manuel Neuer, who holds the record for the most number of clean sheets made by a goalkeeper in a single season. In the 2018-19 Bundesliga campaign, Neuer set a new record with 77 clean sheets in all competitions, including 54 in the league alone.
Neuer's achievement was even more remarkable given that he had already established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world before joining Bayern Munich from Borussia Dortmund in 2013. However, his performances during the 2018-19 season were truly outstanding.
In the first half of the season, Neuer played in all 34 league matches for Bayern, making 128 saves and conceding just seven goals. He then went on to play in all 11 cup matches, making another 56 saves and conceding four goals. In total, Neuer made 284 saves and conceded just 11 goals in the 2018-19 season, setting a new record for the most clean sheets made by a goalkeeper in a single Bundesliga season.
Neuer's achievements during the 2018-19 season earned him the Bundesliga Golden Glove award, which is awarded to the top goalkeeper in the league. He also helped Bayern Munich win the league title, setting a new record for the most consecutive titles won by a club in German football history.
Despite his incredible achievements, Neuer remains humble about his success. "I'm very happy to have been able to achieve this record," he said after winning the Golden Glove award. "It's a great honor, and I want to thank my teammates and the fans for their support."
Overall, Neuer's record-breaking season at Bayern Munich shows just how exceptional a goalkeeper can be when they perform at their peak. His feats will be remembered for years to come, and his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of goalkeepers.
