## Resource

Manuel Neuer’s World Cup return isn’t just a comeback—it’s a record-breaking legacy. At 40 years and 78 days, he’s now Germany’s oldest international ever, and with his 20th World Cup appearance, he’s tied with Hugo Lloris for the most by any goalkeeper. Despite battling a calf injury that sidelined him in warm-ups and raised doubts, Neuer’s experience and leadership—praised by teammates like Kimmich and Tah—proved irreplaceable. Coach Nagelsmann and Sporting Director Völler stood by him, and fans flooded training sessions to witness his commanding presence. Neuer’s impact? More than saves—he’s the heartbeat of the team, inspiring confidence and proving age is just a number. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
