Marco Reus was left perplexed by Manuel Neuer’s wonder save at the weekend.
Bayern Munich ran out 1-0 victors over Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassikeron Saturday, but Dortmund almost spoiled the party with a great chance late on.
Reus hit a free-kicked that seemed destined to sail into the back of the net but he didn’t make allowances for the fact that Manuel Neuer is a shot-stopping wizard.
The German goalkeeper produced a ridiculous leaping save from the far side of the goal to deny Reus and bag all three points for Bayern.
Now, new footage has emerged from behind the goal of Reus‘ strike, and which shows the set-piece from behind the goal.
Reus seemed to think that his well-struck effort had beaten the goalkeeper and appears to be celebrating a “phantom goal” in the clip. However, he soon realised it was all too good to be true, as he witnessed Neuer holding up the ball and elation turned to disappointment very quickly.
