Neuer demonised
Manuel Neuer shrugged off a steady stream of abuse, as well as being demonised as 'Judas' by fans of former club Schalke on Sunday, claiming he expected to face hostility on his return to Gelsenkirchen.
Neuer, who skippered the Royal Blues to the German Cup last season, made a controversial switch to Bayern Munich in the summer and on Sunday, Schalke's fans let him know that the resentment still burns deep.
Several anti-Neuer banners hung around the Veltins Arena.
One read: "We mourn M. Neuer - who died between 2005-2011 - Resurrected as spineless puppet".
