In one of the most controversial statements of the day former German hero Mario Gomez compared Manuel Neuer footballing legacy to Leo Messi.
I would put Manuel Neuer on the same level as Lionel Messi in terms of importance in football history. I do not know if we all know what we encountered with the goalkeeper who revolutionized the game. We will understand this. 20 years from now.
Sure Neuer was one of those people who took goalkeeping to a new level but it was still not enough to compare him to the best player in history the most complete player ever.
Moreover Messi actually spent many more years in his main role than Neuer although both are still strong in their 30s.
