Manuel Neuer’s record-setting day ends early with a foot injury

The Guardian says Neuer, aged 40 years and 225 days, became Bayern’s oldest player, overtaking Bernd Dreher. But his record-setting appearance ended before halftime: he went off with a foot injury, and Jonas Urbig replaced him. Neuer had missed three matches with a foot problem before returning against Atlético Madrid, so the early exit raised the possibility of a recurrence. The Guardian says a first-half error nearly let Mainz equalize; Kooora reports that Lee Jae-sung’s goal in that sequence was ruled offside.
