LISBON - Much has been made of Bayern Munich's young stars who could go on to dominate Europe - but the old guard, led by captain Manuel Neuer, were just as crucial in Sunday's 1-0 Champions League final win over Paris Saint-Germain.
Then, after Kingsley Coman gave Bayern the lead, Neuer produced a point-blank save on Marquinhos after Di Maria split the defence with sublime pass. Neuer was part of Bayern's first treble side in 2013 and seven years later, as captain, had the honour of collecting the trophy at Benfica's Stadium of Light.
Neuer struggled with injury in advance of the 2018 World Cup, which holders Germany exited at the group stage.
