Manuel Neuer becomes Bayern Munich’s oldest-ever Bundesliga player

Manuel Neuer set a record for Bayern Munich, becoming the oldest player to appear for the club in the Bundesliga at 40 years and 225 days old. His appearance surpassed the previous record held by Bernd Dreher.

The match was Neuer’s 394th Bundesliga appearance for Bayern and his 550th overall since joining from Schalke in 2011. The source states that Neuer and Thomas Müller have won 13 Bundesliga titles, a record, and that Neuer tops the records for wins and clean sheets.

Neuer’s record does not make him the oldest player in Bundesliga history; the source notes that Klaus Fichtel played his final match for Schalke aged 43 years and 184 days, and also mentions Edin Džeko, aged 40 years and 228 days.
