The German goalkeeper lifted the lid on the pair's goalkeeping rivalry in his autobiography but there are no hard feelings on the part of Almunia
Manuel Almunia says there is no hard feelings with Jens Lehmann following the German’s revelations about their Arsenal goalkeeping rivalry in his autobiography.
Lehmann lifted the lid on the pair’s battle for the starting shirt which culminated in a foul-mouthed showdown on the training pitch following a challenge on Lehmann by Niklas Bendtner.
Almunia, Lehmann conceded, was a “rather nice bloke” in private but their competition for a place in Arsene Wenger’s team led to numerous confrontations behind the scenes.
