Goalkeepers or just spectators? Neuer sets negative UCL record, Safonov barely edges him

A night to remember for every football fan - a night to forget for Manuel Neuer and Matvey Safonov.

The Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich custodians - not only by their fault - put in some of the worst goalkeeping performances the Champions League has ever seen, and were just spectators of the stellar night the two sides' forwards had.

“The best match I've been in as a manager”

Truth be told, their defenders seriously flopped, but still, all eyes are on the German and the Russian, their stats are unforgiving, and the numbers don't lie.

And they reveal that Neuer conceded 5 goals and failed to make a single save! He thus set a negative record, becoming the first goalie to collapse five times without a stop in the Champions League knockout phase.

At the same time, the 40-year-old conceded more than four goals for the first time in his UCL career, and for only the eighth time in 922 games he played across his 22 years on the pitch.

On the other hand, his counterpart in the PSG's goal was just barely better, making three saves, one of which was a fantastic point-blank denial of Michael Olise's shot, which Marquinhos later cleared off the goal line.

Given that the Saints won, Safonov can be much more satisfied after the clash at Parc des Princes, though both keepers will have a lot to prove in seven days at Allianz Arena.
