Manuel Neuer returned to guard FC Bayern’s goal in the match against SC Freiburg. Curious: Something has changed in his appearance in the last few weeks.

The Munich team once again relied on captain Manuel Neuer in goal. The 39-year-old’s appearance was questionable ahead of the match due to illness. But he came back on time.

What was immediately visible in the match against Freiburg: the former German player has undergone visual changes in the last few weeks. Neuer now has a mustache. The 2014 world champion was previously not known for his facial hair.

Neuer once told “Gala” about his appearance: “My hair always has to be nice and short – I don’t like long or long hair. And I make sure that I don’t have a big beard.” Bayern’s goalkeeper still doesn’t have it. But he does have a mustache.
