Neuer said after surpassing Müller and Messi in Champions League appearances to move into third place: "This is very special for me. Considering the injuries I've had in my career, I've waited quite a long time. I think I'll climb a bit further up the rankings now. In the last game against Arsenal, I equaled Messi and Müller. They have both left the Champions League, so the path for me to overtake them is clear."
