Fans have called time on Manuel Neuer's international career following his mistake in Germany's friendly against Greece. <br/><br/>The German number one was winning his 118th cap in the Euro 2024 warm-up, but it won't be a game he'll look back upon fondly. <br/><br/>Just after the half-hour mark, the Bayern Munich stopper spilled a simple shot straight into the path of Giorgos Masouras, who profited from the mistake to put the Greeks into the lead. <br/><br/>Thankfully for the 38-year-old, Kai Havertz and Pascal Gross saved some of his blushes with a second-half goal for the Euro 2024 hosts, but the error didn't go unnoticed by fans on social media. <br/><br/>Several comments were made about Neuer and whether or not he can still cut it as an international goalkeeper. <br/><br/>'For an unbelievable goalie, he sure does make a lot of mistakes.' One post read, while there were several calls for Marc ter Stegen to give the nod as the German's number one. <br/><br/>'He’s past his prime. Give Ter Stegen a chance.' said one fan, with another stating, 'It’s about time Ter Stegen becomes a starter.<br/><br/>And another who simply asked, 'They benching Ter Stegen for this?'<br/><br/>However, perhaps the best reasoning behind Neuer's mistake came from the fan who claimed Real Madrid's Joselu was to blame. <br/><br/>The Spanish striker scored two goals past Neuer in the Champions League final, and they stated that he ended the Bayern stopper. <br/><br/>It will be the goalie's eighth tournament for the national team, having made his international debut in 2010.<br/><br/>In 2014 he was part of the squad that won the World Cup in Brazil and was named goalie of the tournament.
