Goalkeeper Loris Karius was the star of the show as Schalke secured a goalless draw against Bayern Munich in their return to top-flight home action. The match, which saw Manuel Neuer return to his former club, ended with Bayern failing to score domestically for the first time in over 18 months.
Karius, 33, made a string of impressive saves, including a crucial one-handed stop to deny Harry Kane a late winner. This performance comes after a challenging career path for the goalkeeper, who joined Schalke in January 2025 and had his contract extended to 2028 this summer.
The result means Bayern finished the weekend not on top of the table for the first time in almost two years. Meanwhile, Neuer received a hostile reception from Schalke fans, prompting comments from sporting directors Max Eberl and Frank Baumann, with Eberl calling the treatment "inappropriate." Neuer, however, described the boos as "love" and a "compliment."
