Manuel Neuer is the goalkeeper and captain for Bayern Munich and the German national team. He was named best goalkeeper of the decade from 2011-2020 by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics. Neuer started his professional career with Schalke 04 II (reserve team) from 2004-2008, and Schalke 04 from 2006-2011. He made 156 appearances for Schalke 04. In 2011 he signed a five year contract with Bayern Munich. Supporters of Bayern were unhappy with Bayern signing a Schalke goalkeeper. Neuer would win them over by breaking Bayern's record for clean sheets and going over 1000 minutes without conceding a goal.  Neuer was the keeper in the 2014 final of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Germany won their fourth World Cup with a 1-0 win over Argentina. Mario  Götze scored in the 113' of the game. Extra time is not sudden death, or a "golden goal" so they game continued. Lionel Messi had a chance late in the game, but his shot sailed over the crossbar
