Champs Lg UEFA Champions League 2023/24 (Winners: Real Madrid)

Don't think there was anything wrong with either major decision.

More importantly, wtf is Neuer doing. That was close to matchfixing it was that bad haha.

Feel that is a bit harsh considering he kept them in the tie with some excellent saves.


All keepers commit errors, just unfortunate this one came for him at the worst possible time for him and his team.


Having said that it is surely time for Bayern to move on from him.

I feel for Neuer a bit. It's a tough gig being a keeper as any mistake is usually amplified when the other mob score. He's made a handful of quite brilliant saves during the match though.

But yeah, that one was a howler.

Kind of wild to think that Buffon and Neuer have now had almost identical howlers in the CL in elimination matches.

He's tried to catch the ball when there was too much power on the shot to gather it in his arms. Good practice is to parry the ball away in that scenario.

Not that wild when you consider both how long their careers were in CL football. Had to happen eventually.

It was such a nothing shot, hit straight at him.

If he can't be trusted to make that save, they definitely need to move him on.

All the amazing saves count for nothing if you make an error like that.

Agreed although I will say there is not a single goalkeeper in the world that hasn't committed a similar error to that.

 

[Frank Bunn]

The linesman made a big mistake in putting his flag up here. The ref has to blow up. So once the whistle has blown and the players stop, VAR can't get involved. It looks like de Ligt's knee is level with Rudiger's back foot.

 

[QuietB]

Was behind the ball

How? He was meandering back from 2m offside and the attacking player was streaming forward at pace.

It must have been the most perfect timing in history.

DeLigt looked offside to me.

When the ball was played, he was behind it.

Has nothing to do with where the defenders were at that point.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

RM really do get all the luck in the CL.

 

[Upstart Swan]

Yet again Bayern undone by individual mistakes. The club needs to work out why players make serious howlers for them when almost always the player is solid.

They need to learn how to pass the ball. It's been like that all season, so much attack breaks down, so much possession lost through poor passing.

And to think just a month ago Bayern agreed to a 2-year extension to Alex Nübel's loan period at Stuttgart, where he has been in great form.

 

[glenferry23]

They just find a way, it’s in Real Madrid’s DNA in the CL. To lose it under those circumstances for Bayern though, wow. Neuer has made a string of brilliant saves however just a slight bobble off his chest and it’s punished to the maximum, as is the case so often for many GK errors.

I had to watch the replay of the goal because I thought maybe you’re right and there was just too much pace on the shot. There really wasn’t, the shot was tame.

It bounced slightly higher than expected. Always better to parry the ball in that scenario just to be sure.

 

[Spirit Level]

It’s always the refs/ofiicials with Kaiser whether it’s Bayern, Eagles in AFL or NFL. Blame your goalie

To be fair every Philly fan gets bitter about the refs

Agree to disagree.

I think parrying the shot would have been dangerous with Joselu right there, so collecting it would have been the safest bet. That has been a routine save for Neuer throughout his career, but tonight he happened to make an error on a shot he has had no issues with countless times before. It’s a shame for him that it happened in such a big match.

Keepers are trained to parry the ball well away from goals in this scenario. Safest bet would have been to parry it out to his right for a corner kick. This is trained into keepers over and over again up to elite level. Never, ever attempt a catch unless you are 100% certain you will collect and you won't spill it.

 

[Zidane98]

Safe to say pretty much everyone in the forum bar KC & typeclub will be on the Dortmund train for the CL final.

 

[Thistle]

Neuer's throw that led to the shot on goal was also a poor decision by him

Bayern definitely need a new #1 keeper in the summer.

If the ball bounced normally it's a comfortable catch in his midriff. If it skipped up off the turf then he would have had no time to react. Just unlucky if that happened.

Kim made unnecessary mistakes last week then Neuer this game, granted Kim would not have played last week if De Ligt was fit. Bayern need to sell Kim and Upamacamo and sign a central defender who can actually defend

And yet Neuer didn’t try to ”parry the shot out for a corner.”. Which suggests that he was comfortable in his own ability to make a routine save. And it was a routine save off a shot that shouldn’t have troubled him.
