Jonas Urbig reveals Neuer texted him before his Germany debut

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Jonas Urbig made his Germany debut in a 2-0 victory over Serbia on Thursday. The young talent kept a clean sheet during the match. In a post-game interview, Urbig revealed that both former Germany No. 1 Manuel Neuer and Bayern Munich teammate Sven Ulreich had messaged him before the game, expressing their happiness for his debut.

Urbig acknowledged feeling "relatively calm and relaxed" before the match, though the national anthem added a unique element to the experience. He emphasized that during the game, he stayed focused on the task at hand, not dwelling on the surrounding hype. When asked about the highlight of the evening, Urbig stated that the team's dominant performance throughout the entire match, from the first to the last minute, was particularly special, and keeping a clean sheet as a goalkeeper was a significant achievement for him.
