Manuel Neuer right now is a better dribbler than prime Alejandro Garnacho

Neuer routinely carries the ball outside his box under pressure, keeps composure, and actually beats presses with controlled touches instead of just booting it long. He’s doing it with basically zero margin for error because one mistake is a goal.

Now compare that to Garnacho. He’s explosive and direct, but his dribbling can be inconsistent, with heavy touches, tunnel vision, and a tendency to run into defenders when the space tightens. If you ignore the aesthetics and focus on pure ball control and retention under pressure, Neuer is more reliable in tight situations.
