#2 Manuel Neuer – FC Bayern Munich
Trending
The eagle-eyed among you will note that we don’t have third place in this Top 10 goalkeeper list, and that is because the 2nd spot is shared. Manuel Neuer was crowned the ‘best goalkeeper in the world’ for the fourth time in his career by the ‘International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS)’ but he misses out on the top prize here.
With 16 clean sheets, despite missing the tail end of the season, the German has continued his supreme goalkeeping form. However, there has been a rise in the number of errors he commits, with one particular one against Schalke sticking out in the memory as it led to Bayern dropping points.
Still, Neuer’s SPG ratio is one of the best in the list at an astounding 3.375, but the sight of him letting Cristiano Ronaldo score 5 goals past him in 180 minutes will simply not go away – and coupled with the injury, is why he misses out on the top prize this season.
