VIDEO: Manuel Neuer denies Luis Suarez from point-blank range

If Bayern Munich have any hope of keeping Barcelona off the scoresheet in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal, they need Manuel Neuer to stand on his head for 90 minutes.
And, well, that's exactly what he did in the 10th minute, when Luis Suarez found himself through on goal with acres of space and time, only to be denied by the outstretched right leg of the German 'keeper.
Only moments later, Neuer denied Suarez once again, this time launching his head into a challenge in reckless fashion.
Manuel Neuer, ridiculously brave goalkeeping.
