Manuel Neuer is back—and is already making Champions League history! After recovering from a foot injury, the 40-year-old is back between the posts for FC Bayern’s away game against Atlético Madrid.
With his comeback, the Munich captain reaches a historic milestone, surpassing—of all people—his longtime teammate Thomas Müller. Neuer had most recently missed five competitive matches due to injury.
During that time, the 2014 World Cup champion was replaced by Jonas Urbig. Just in time for the crucial Champions League showdown in Madrid, however, the veteran declared himself fit to play again.
