With his exit in the second round, Manuel will become the world record holder for the most matches in major tournaments among goalkeepers.
Goalkeeper Manuel Neuerleaving the base Germany national team in the opening match European Championship 2024became the record holder for his national team in the number of matches played at major tournaments.
For the 38-year-old Bayern goalkeeper, the match against Scotland was the 35th in the final stages of the World Cup and European Championship. Manuel has surpassed former teammate Philipp Lahm in this indicator, who has 34 matches left on his account.
In addition, Neuer repeated the result of his French colleague Hugo Lloris, and already in the second round he will probably become the sole world record holder for the number of fights at major international tournaments among goalkeepers.
The opening match of the 2024 European Championship is in its second half. The championship hosts lead with a score of 4:0. Florian Wirtz scored the debut goal of the tournament. Ryan Porteous received his debut red card (and a straight one). The debut penalty was converted by Kai Havertz.
In honor of the record, Neuer’s partners gave him a rest – he has absolutely no work, the British team is not able to approach someone else’s penalty area with the ball.
The author of another German record today was Julian Nagelsmann, the youngest coach in the history of the European Championships.
In Group A, in addition to the German and British teams, Hungary and Switzerland also participate – they will play their match tomorrow, June 15 (start at 16:00 Kyiv time).
The Ukrainian national team, we remind you, was in Group E. At the group stage, the blue-yellows will play with the teams of Romania (June 17), Slovakia (June 21) and Belgium (June 26). The matches will take place in Munich, Dusseldorf and Stuttgart, respectively.
