Previous Bayern shock in the cup clash against Leverkusen! Keeper Manuel Neuer was sent off after a foul on Jeremie Frimpong (17th).

The 38-year-old knocked out the Bayer star with a body check outside the penalty area. Harm Osmers didn’t hesitate for long and showed Neuer the red card.

Vincent Kompany then took Leroy Sané out of the game and brought on Daniel Peretz, the only keeper sitting on the bench. For Neuer it is the first dismissal of his professional career. He was only given a yellow card 23 times. In his 124 international matches he even went without any warnings.

Schweinsteiger analyzes Neuer’s misfires

“I can remember a similar situation at the World Cup final, where Neuer came out but played the ball.” In that situation, of course, you also have to see that Tah was completely free on the ball, without pressure. Frimpong makes the run behind the central defenders,” said expert Bastian Schweinsteiger, analyzing the situation in the ARD.

Bayern are “extremely high, one of the two central defenders could have been a little lower.” There is always a risk that you will be too late. Manu was just a little too late for the ball and then something like that happens. It’s a long ball. “The central defenders have to drop a little deeper,” Schweinsteiger continued.
