Ever since his 2010 World Cup heroics, FC Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has been a mainstay in the Germany national team under head coach Joachim Low.
Neuer, now 33, has been such a consistent performer for his club and country that his place in the team has rarely been questioned, that is, until recently.
The rise of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has been phenomenal and since his move to FC Barcelona, the former Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper has earned plaudits for his fine displays in between the sticks and is now regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
