Fans gasp ‘bro is so confident’ after spotting Manuel Neuer’s unnecessary skill vs Arsenal – and it helped set up GOAL

MANUEL NEUER left fans in awe after his unnecessary skill led to a goal during Bayern Munich’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

The Bundesliga giants conceded a late Leandro Trossard equaliser at the Emirates on Tuesday night, but will still be confident heading back to Germany knowing a win will take them into the semi-finals.

And their second goal, a Harry Kane penalty, stemmed from a move started by an outrageous piece of play from Neuer.

The German, 38, was being pressed by Kai Havertz as he assessed his options while in possession.

And as Havertz attempted to cut off the passing lane to Matthijs de Ligt, Neuer casually flicked it up and volleyed it over to his team-mate.

It was not the best pass, but Joshua Kimmich stopped it from going out of play, before Bayern built a move that ended with Leroy Sane being fouled for their penalty – which Kane converted.

Fans later zeroed in on the impressive skill from Neuer as they took to social media to react.

One said: “I absolutely love Neuer.”

While another added: “Bro is so confident.”

A third replied: “What a king he is.”

Surprised it wasn’t a penalty, says Halsey

By Mark Halsey

SOME will say that Bukayo Saka initiated the contact, but Manuel Neuer stuck out his leg.

I was surprised Glenn Nyberg did not award Arsenal a penalty in real time at the end.

Bayern Munich could have no complaints if it was given, they got away with one.

Munich were very lucky.

It is subjective, so maybe that is why VAR did not get involved.

Had it been given, the decision would not have changed.

A fourth responded: “His confidence level is top notch.”

And a fifth said: “A genius of the game.”

Why would he pick it up? It HAS to be a penalty, says Halsey

By Mark Halsey

Arsenal could have absolutely no complaints if a penalty was awarded to Bayern Munich.

The referee signalled for David Raya to take the goal kick.

He did… and Gabriel picked the ball up. Why would he do that? The whistle had been blown.

The only person who has made a mistake is Gabriel. Why would he pick the ball up?

Once the referee has blown his whistle and Gabriel has picked it up, he has to give a penalty.

Two-time Champions League winner Neuer, who has 117 caps for Germany, was involved in a controversial moment at the end of the game when Bukayo Saka went down in the area following contact from the Bayern keeper.

But referee Glenn Nyberg did not award the spot kick as Arsenal players and fans were left furious.

Neuer remains one of the best keepers in the worldReuters
