Neuer with records in 2021 too
Neuer, who was voted the world's best goalkeeper last year, once again set numerous records in 2021. He became a Bundesliga champion for the ninth time, more often than any other goalkeeper. In addition, the 35-year-old broke the Bundesliga record for number of clean sheets (now 209). Having also notched up 125 Champions League games, he is the goalkeeper with the second most appearances in the competition, with only Iker Casillas (177) having more.
