Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer achieved a historic milestone in the UEFA Champions League, securing his 58th clean sheet during Wednesday’s match against Arsenal.
A second-half goal from Joshua Kimmich propelled Bayern to a hard-fought 1-0 victory over the Gunners at the Allianz Arena.
The result sees Bayern advance 3-2 on aggregate, following a 2-2 draw against Mikel Arteta’s side in the first leg at the Emirates.
Neuer’s clean sheet in his 138th Champions League appearance surpasses the previous record held by Iker Casillas, who kept 57 clean sheets in 177 games.
The two-time Champions League winner will aim to extend his record when Bayern confront Real Madrid in the semi-finals.
Real Madrid secured their semi-final berth by defeating reigning champions Manchester City 4-3 on penalties after the match ended 1-1 in regulation time.
