Manuel Neuer of Bayern Munich Injured Due to Celebratory Mishap

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany attributed the incident to the celebration, stating, "It's unfortunate for us."

The veteran goalkeeper, who recently extended his deal at Bayern until 2025, missed almost a full year with a broken leg from a skiing accident from December 2022 until October 2023.

Urbig, 21, arrived from Cologne in the winter. Despite making his debut on the big stage on Wednesday, Urbig was largely untested as Bayern dominated the first leg against the defending German champions.
