Yesterday's match of the 2nd round of the 2022 World Cup group stage between the national teams of Germany and Spain (1:1) was the 18th match for the goalkeeper of the German national team Manuel Neuer in the world championships.
Thus, the 36-year-old goalkeeper repeated the record of other goalkeepers - his compatriot Sepp Mayer and Brazilian Claudio Taffarel, who also have 18 matches played at world championships.
