Neuer vs. Nübel: Bayern's Goalkeeping Present Meets Future

The saying goes that “the student becomes the master,” but this weekend’s Bundesliga clash between Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart will pit master against apprentice in an intriguing goalkeeping battle. At 38 years old, Bayern and Germany’s long-standing number one Manuel Neuer is undoubtedly one of the all-time great shot-stoppers. However, his days are numbered, and his potential successor could well be the man between the sticks for the opposition - Alexander Nübel.
