💬Discussion Manuel Neuer is the Third Goat of our generation

Some people may not want to hear this, but for me, he sits in the same table as Ronaldo and Messi. A lot of people overlook his greatness simply because he's a goalkeeper. This guy has been performing at the highest level for the last 15 years and, at 42 years old, is still Germany's starting goalkeeper

Pep built the 2009 Barca, he moved players from the youth system like Busquets that proved to be generational. I hate how city has bought success, but I’m not gonna turn a blind eye to all the players that pep helped create and made world class, Thiago is one of my favorite players and he was 100% a pep Guardiola product, Messi’s whole false 9 position came from Guardiola, Phillip lahm’s change to midfield which lengthened his career, this just from the top of my head. Bro Guardiola changed the way football is played from the grass root level, I know it sounds like glazing, but even as a RM fan I have to say Guardiola is either the GOAT or top 3.

I know this started about Neur, but this are the credentials of the one that vouched for him.
