One of the best German goalkeepers of all time, Manuel Neuer, revealed that he had overcome a tricky disease.

The 36-year-old German revealed that he had been diagnosed with skin cancer in the past, which led to three surgeries for the goalkeeper.

M. Neuer spoke about it while presenting new skin care products.

"I have painful experience with skin problems. I was diagnosed with skin cancer, which required me to undergo three surgeries.

It is very important that everyone understands the importance of using products that help protect the skin from direct sunlight," Neuer said.
