That deserves to be called a monster save! The way Manuel Neuer saved his Bayern in the 14th minute of the Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid on Wednesday caused the "Twitteria" to shake their heads in intense disbelief.

"You horny s..", wrote Bayern fan "Sebastian", for example. He's not the only one who couldn't shut his mouth in amazement on Twitter. Manuel Neuer really outdid himself in the 14th minute: Real striker Vinicius Junior takes a low shot into the far corner in the 16th minute, Neuer dives and deflects the ball onto the bar; Rodrygo's follow-up shot is parried again and Neuer is on the spot again to grab the ball and make the final save. Very strong!

"Best goalkeeper in the world"
Neuer raises his fist in the air - a small demonstration of power. In contrast to Rodrygo, who pulls his shirt over his head in sheer desperation. It felt like 1:0 for Neuer.

And for FC Bayern's social media department, it's clear: "Manuel Neuer is the best goalkeeper in the world."

Neuer was on hand again in the 40th minute: ViniJR crosses from half-field, the ball passes friend and foe, bounces up and looks set to land in the far corner - but Neuer is wide awake and deflects the ball into the corner out.

Strong again! Oh yes, the second half continued like this: Bellingham free-kick - Neuer saves. ViniJR finish - Neuer is on the ball and saves.
