I can’t blame the team, we carved out good opportunities. We had three or four excellent chances from headers but we fell further behind after a slip.” In his turn Germany keeper Manuel Neuer said: “We’ve played well during Euro 2016 but have been knocked out and that is very disappointing.
It’s a semi-final, there weren’t any stupid moments or silly mistakes. It’s not a fair result. It’s disappointing to go in at the break trailing as we did.”
“Nevertheless, we still had the chance to bounce back but simply couldn’t score. They were clinical. If it had been 0-0 at the break, that wouldn’t have happened. After France took a 1-0 lead, it was easier for them "
