The German national team beat Hungary 2-0 and achieved their second victory in as many games of Euro 2024, as they had preceded the imposing 5-1 against Scotland, in the premiere of the competition.
The Germans are without a doubt the “boss” of the group and show that they are completely focused on the realization of their goal, which is none other than winning the prestigious trophy.
Today’s game of the “panzers” against the Hungarians was special for one player of the German team. The reason for Germany’s goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, who defended the crossbars of his country’s representative group and wrote history.

The Bayern goalkeeper played for the 17th time in the European Championship, equaling the record held by another great goalkeeper, Italian Gianluigi Buffon.
So the 38-year-old, Neuer is, together with Buffon, in the first place in terms of goalkeepers with the most games in the final phase of a European championship.
Everything indicates that Neuer will also play against Switzerland, for the third game of the group and will thus reach 20 games in the final phase of the European championship and will be alone at the top.
Behind Neuer, Buffon are the Dutchman, Edwin van der Sar and the Portuguese Rui Patricio with 16 games in the Euro, followed by the Frenchman Joris with 15, Casillas and Cech with 14 and Schmeichel, Isaacson with 13 matches.
Neuer is therefore ready to write history with a legendary record, a sample of the huge career that the goalkeeper of Bayern and the German national team has achieved.
