Kapten Bayern Munich, "Calon Kuat" UEFA Men's Player of the Year

"Manuel is one of a kind. At Bayern, a goalkeeper is not permanently under siege. But he has to deliver in the few moments he is needed. When a striker has a 1v1 against Neuer, he hardly ever gets any joy. If you look at everything Manuel has won and how much he has contributed to the team's titles, you can say he is one of the very best of all time."
