Starting against Côte d’Ivoire, Manuel Neuer is set to break the World Cup appearance record for goalkeepers.

Manuel Neuer will set a new record when he steps onto the pitch for Germany’s World Cup clash with Côte d’Ivoire on Saturday night.

Named in Germany’s starting XI, Manuel Neuer will make his 21st World Cup appearance.

In doing so, he surpasses France’s Hugo Lloris (20) to become the goalkeeper with the most appearances in World Cup history.

It will be the 40-year-old’s 126th cap for Germany in total, placing him fifth on the nation’s all-time appearance list, behind Lukas Podolski (130), Thomas Müller (131), Miroslav Klose (137), and Lothar Matthäus (150).
