Neuer sets Bundesliga clean sheet record after Bayern keeper shuts out Schalke

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer set a new Bundesliga record with the 197th clean sheet of his career in Sunday’s thumping 4-0 win against Schalke.

The 34-year-old eclipsed the record set 13 years ago by Bayern and Germany legend Oliver Khan.

But while Kahn needed 557 Bundesliga matches, for Bayern and Karlsruher, to reach the old mark, Neuer needed just 423 league games for Bayern and former club Schalke.
