#3 Manuel Neuer
Widely regarded as the best in his position at present, Manuel Neuer has been in terrific form lately and was one of the best goalkeepers of the tournament through his shot-stopping ability and his agility. The Golden Glove Winner at the World Cup two years ago conceded only three goals throughout the entire tournament out of which only one was scored in open play.
Throughout the tournament, Neuer commanded his goal with authority and made some amazing reflex saves from close range but his best performance of the tournament perhaps came against Italy in the quarter-finals where he made two saves in the penalty shootout to help Germany progress to the semi-finals where they were beaten by France.
Barring his misjudged punch in the semis which led to France’s second goal, Neuer put up a brilliant display of goalkeeping throughout the tournament and provided he maintains his consistency, then Germany would well be a heavy favorite to win the 2017 Confederations Cup and the 2018 World Cup.
