Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, speaking at a press conference held at the Allianz Arena ahead of tomorrow's UEFA Champions League match against Galatasaray, praised Mauro Icardi, saying, "We all know that Icardi is a super player. He has very quick bursts. He is also an emotional player. He is a fearless and brave player. We saw this in the way he takes penalties."

Neuer emphasized that Icardi is a strong forward, adding, "Our defense will make an effort to stop him. I am aware of what awaits me."

The German goalkeeper stated that he is happy to be returning to the pitch after a long time, saying, "I am very happy to be returning to the grass after my long injury period with a Champions League match. I am also particularly happy to be facing an opponent like Galatasaray in a full stadium tomorrow."
