Bayern Munich's Neuer Injured Celebrating Goal in 3-0 UCL Win

Bayern Munich secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie, but the match was marred by a calf injury to goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Neuer sustained the injury while celebrating Jamal Musiala's goal, leading to the debut of Jonas Urbig in goal. Despite the injury setback, Bayern maintained their dominance throughout the match, with Harry Kane scoring twice, including a penalty after Leverkusen's Mukiele was sent off. Coach Vincent Kompany acknowledged the need to adapt to Neuer's potential absence for the return leg, emphasizing the squad's depth and resilience. The second leg is set to take place next Tuesday, where Bayern hopes to advance to the quarterfinals. The injury adds uncertainty to Neuer's availability, with the club yet to provide a definitive timeline for his recovery.
