European Football Championship

With his performance in the second European Championship group match against Hungary on Wednesday, DFB keeper Manuel Neuer equaled Gianluigi Buffon's record.

With his 17th game at a European Championship, the Bayern goalkeeper has drawn level with the Italian legend. If he plays in the third group game against Switzerland on Sunday, Neuer would take over the sole lead.

Both missed out on the European Championship triumph
What Buffon and Neuer have in common: They both became world champions (Buffon in 2006, Neuer in 2014) but missed out on a European Championship triumph. The Bayern keeper could make up for it this year.
