Manuel Neuer is obviously great goalkeeper... however, he can be suspect to an absolute clanger every now and again.

Sadio Mane of Liverpool scores the opening goal during the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg match between FC Bayern Muenchen and Liverpool at Allianz Arena on March 13, 2019 in Munich, Bavaria.

The second leg of a Champions League last 16 is probably the match you don't want to be dropping that clanger in.
Only 26 minutes had passed at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night before Neuer had the moment to forget against Liverpool.
Virgil Van Dijk played a superb pass over the top to an on-chasing Sadio Mane who controlled the ball perfectly before waiting for the Bayern Munich goalkeeper to run towards him.
Mane easily turned away from Neuer before chipping the ball into the net to give Liverpool the lead (with a vital away goal) in Munich.
Watch Neuer's embarrassing moment below.
Maybe we're being a bit harsh on Neuer here... Mane could certainly be given a lot more credit for his cheeky effort.
Social media enjoyed the goal, piling plenty of praise on the Senegalese forward while also criticising Neuer.
An all-round entertaining goal!
