Neuer is still the world’s best goalkeeper – Lloris

Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer remains the world’s best goalkeeper, according to Tottenham and France shot-stopper Hugo Lloris.

The 32-year-old has not looked his usual assured self since coming back from serious injury, with a notable blunder against South Korea in the World Cup hastening Germany’s shock elimination from the competition. He was also culpable as Virgil van Dijk headed home the Netherlands’ opener in a 3-0 Nations League defeat for Joachim Low’s side last weekend.

In the wake of these errors, Neuer faced criticism from Germany legend Lothar Matthaus, who has pushed for Marc-Andre ter Stegen to keep goal instead.
