Never change, Neuer

Relax, Neuer’s got this.

Bayern Munich took another massive step towards claiming this year’s Bundesliga with a hard fought 1-0 victory over Hertha Berlin on Saturday.

Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer had yet another moment of insanity (or brilliance) during the tight win.With six minutes left until full time and just a a goal separating the sides, Dante decided to pass the ball back to Neuer as the opposition attackers were closing him down.

Rather than hoof the ball out of danger, Neuer pulled off a Cryuff turn and managed to deceive an oncoming striker. Remarkably, the Bayern players are so used to Neuer’s antics at this stage that they didn’t even flinch when the shot-stopper tried the ridiculous skill move just outside his own box.
