Manuel Neuer just etched his name into the history books with his 36th career trophy, officially making him the most decorated German player of all-time. That is a wild number, folks. Thirty-six!
Bayern Kicks Off Season with Supercup Gold
The record-setting win came after Bayern Munich edged out their rivals, Borussia Dortmund, in the 2026 Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. It was not a blowout, that’s for sure. New signing Nathaniel Brown got things started with a goal in the 28th minute. Then, Michael Olise delivered the game-winner during stoppage time of the first half. Neuer, rocking the captain’s armband as always, was minding the net like a boss, adding another Supercup to his ridiculous collection. He officially tied his longtime teammate Thomas Müller with eight Supercup victories. What a way to start the season!
The Trophy Case Is Overflowing
But the Supercup win was just the cherry on top. This victory pushed Neuer past Müller in overall trophy count, crowning him as the undisputed king of German football accolades. His trophy case is just absurd: 13 Bundesliga titles, 8 DFL-Supercup/Franz Beckenbauer-Supercup wins, 7 DFB-Pokals, 2 UEFA Champions League trophies, 2 UEFA Super Cups, 2 FIFA Club World Cups, 1 FIFA World Cup, and a DFL-Ligapokal. Let’s not forget he also snagged a UEFA European U-21 Championship with a squad that featured future World Cup legends like Mats Hummels and Mesut Özil. He is just a winner, plain and simple. What is next for this legend? More trophies, probably.
