Neuer is Bayern's oldest player in the history of the "Bundesliga"

Manuel Neuer became the oldest player to participate with Bayern Munich in the German League, on Saturday, at the age of 40 years and 225 days.

According to the Opta Franz statistical platform, the appearance of goalkeeper Neuer in the Mainz match on Saturday means that he exceeds the record recorded in the name of former goalkeeper Bernd Dreher, estimated at 40 years and 198 days.

Neuer still has two goalkeeping legends ahead of him in terms of participation in the German League historically.

Topping the list is former Hamburg goalkeeper Uli Stein, who played until the age of 42 years and 170 days, while former Cologne star Tony Schumacher played until the age of 42 years and 73 days, when he last participated.

Neuer was forced to leave the field in the first half due to a renewed injury to his foot.

The goalkeeper, who often suffered from injuries, made a mistake while trying to block a cross with his fist, but he was lucky to cancel Mainz's equalizer due to offside, in a decision that sparked controversy.

After that, Neuer fell on the field, pointing to his foot, and was replaced by goalkeeper Jonas Orbig. Neuer recently missed three matches due to a foot injury, in a season that is expected to be his last as a player.

The Cagliari team put an end to the awakening of its guest, Frosinone, by defeating them (1-0), on Saturday, in the eleventh round of the Italian Football League.

The only goal in the match was scored by French midfielder Michael Adobo in the 38th minute, giving the hosts a valuable victory.

This defeat stopped a series of good results for Frosinone, newly promoted to the league this season, after it had swept Lecce (5-1), beat Torino (2-0), also defeated Sassuolo (4-3), and tied with Atalanta (4-4).

Frosinone's tally stopped at 20 points in sixth place, while Cagliari reached 16 points in eighth place.

Cagliari put an end to a negative series that witnessed losses to Monza (0-4), Bologna (0-2), Roma (2-4), and Lazio (1-2).

Young Moroccan striker Yasser Al-Zabiri continued his brilliance, and led his Racing Santander team to victory over its numerically inferior host, Malaga, 2-1, in the twelfth stage of the Spanish Football League, on Saturday.

At La Rosaleda Stadium, between two newly promoted teams, Al-Zabiri, 21, scored his ninth goal this season in the league, giving his team the three points in the 60th minute, 10 minutes after his teammate Iker Luque Sierra equalized, turning the tables on Malaga, who had taken the lead through Carlos Dotor (28).

The hosts completed the match with ten players after the promising Moroccan international left defender Adam Azno (20 years old) was sent off after receiving two yellow cards (64).

Al-Zabiri, who won the U-20 World Cup with his country's youth team in Chile in the fall of 2025, has established himself as a star with Santander since he moved to their ranks this summer, on loan from French club Rennes.

Al-Zabiri scored the hat-trick in the victory over Elche (3-2) in the third stage, the double in the victory over Deportivo Alaves (2-1) in the fifth stage, his second goal against Barcelona (2-7) when he came on as a substitute, the first equalizing goal against his guest Valencia (2-2) in the eighth, and the victory over Espanyol 2-1 in the tenth stage, before scoring the winning goal against Malaga today.

Santander, which returned to winning ways after a tough loss at home to Real Madrid 0-3 in the last stage, raised its score to 14 points, temporarily moving up to ninth place.

He also continued his superiority over Malaga; It did not suffer any defeat in its last 7 matches in various competitions.

On the other hand, Malaga failed to score three points for the 12th consecutive match this season, and suffered its second consecutive loss in the league, leaving coach Juan Francisco Funes’ men at the bottom of the standings with only 5 points.
