Decisive against Hungary, Manuel Neuer equals Buffon’s European Championship record

This Wednesday, the Germany they beat Hungary 2-0 and stamped their passport into the round of 16 of the Euro Cup in advance. Decisive in the match, Manuel Neuer equaled Italian Gianluigi Buffon as the goalkeeper with the most appearances in the Euros.

The German archer reached his 17th duel with Germany in international competition and tied the record set by the historic Buffon. Neuer, for this, surpassed the Portuguese Rui PatrĂ­cio and the Dutch Van Der Sar, who participated in 16 commitments.

Manuel Neuer was extremely important for Germany in the victory against Hungary. At the start, according to the Sofascore, the archer made three saves – including a beautiful bridge from a free kick taken by Szoboszlai, and hit two long throws.

Despite his impressive record, the German goalkeeper has yet to win the European Championship in his career. Along with great players like Toni Kroos, Musiala and Kimmich, Neuer seeks to win the competition and return the cup to Germany, the biggest champion along with Spain, with three.

Already qualified for the next phase, Germany returns to the pitch on Sunday, at 4pm (BrasĂ­lia time), to face Switzerland, at Deutsche Bank Park. The match is valid for the third and final round of the Eurocup group stage.
