Manuel Neuer received a red card for the first time in his career on Wednesday evening. He then apologized – Toni Kroos responded to this.

It was a bitter evening for Manuel Neuer: In the DFB Cup round of 16 between FC Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen (0-1) on Tuesday, the goalkeeper was shown a red card in the 17th minute. Neuer tried to prevent Leverkusen from attacking. However, he came too late outside the penalty area against Jeremie Frimpong and rammed his opponent to the ground.

In the evening, Neuer spoke up on Instagram. Under a photo of himself, the 38-year-old wrote: “Unfortunately, in the situation in which I was trying to help, I came too late. After I was sent off, it was of course extremely difficult for the boys with one man less, but they really did Tried everything. “I'm sorry.” Toni Kroos responded to the post.

The 2014 world champion and former international wrote: “Stop apologizing!” He also added a goat emoji. He probably meant “GOAT”, which stands for “Greatest of all time” and is widespread in football.
