For many fans, Manuel Neuer is considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world. The German is known for his innovative playing style, which combines traditional goalkeeping skills with the role of a defender. His ability to play with his feet, come out of the goal area, and control the ball has made him a model for modern goalkeepers.

Manuel Neuer's turbulent love life

Despite numerous successes on the field, such as winning the Champions League trophy with Bayern Munich and the World Cup title with the German national team, Neuer has not always been lucky in his love life. His marriage to Nina Weiss, which ended in divorce in 2020, was widely commented on in the media. Neuer and Weiss met in 2014. Three years later, the couple tied the knot. Unfortunately, after just under three years of marriage, they parted ways.

According to unofficial information, the goalkeeper's infidelity caused the breakup. After the divorce, German media noticed that the goalkeeper was dating 14-year-old Anika Bissel. The matter caused a stir online due to the significant age difference between the goalkeeper and his new love. When Bissel started dating Neuer, she was just 20 years old.

Ultimately, however, to everyone's surprise, Manuel and Anika's relationship did not fall apart and flourished. In 2023, the couple got married. According to Bild, the ceremony took place in a close family circle.
