Bayern Munich keeper Manuel Neuer is presumably still not welcome at the club – despite saving the penalties that took the German giants to the Champions League final.
The Bavarian side’s protested about the ex-Schalke goalie’s arrival at the club last summer. In the protest above they unveiled a massive banner reading: “No matter how many balls you save, we will never accept you in our shirt.”
OTP can’t spot any disclaimer allowing for Champions League semi-final saves in there.
The beef started when Neuer imitated a famous corner celebration by Bayern legend Oliver Kahn.
After counselling between Neuer and supporters relations thawed. Slightly.
The Bayern supporters’ group said at the time: “If Manuel Neuer agrees to the rules we laid down regarding his conduct and keeps a respectful distance, there will be no further organised protests and actions.”
Perhaps he moved slightly further into their good books on Wednesday evening.
