I’ve followed and loved Manuel Neuer for 15 years.

Yesterday, sitting there and watching him from a distance, I couldn’t hold back my tears. Supporting him isn’t just a choice — it feels like part of my DNA.

My seat was near the goal area, so I could clearly see his pain, helplessness, and loneliness on the pitch. He made several excellent saves. Even the Benfica fans in front of me cursed him once. I saw everything: the way he tried to stay close to his teammates, how he ran into the opponent’s box in one last effort, how he carried water bottles to help his teammates rehydrate, and how he lowered his head in disappointment.

He did everything he could — and it still wasn’t enough.

What I felt yesterday wasn’t just sadness over a loss. It was something deeper — a mix of pride in how strong Manu still is, and pain seeing the disappointment and loneliness on his face… especially with him standing right there in front of me.
