"In the Champions League we scored four times in two matches and the Italian defence is more or less the Juventus defence.  "Italy do defend very well as a team - they sacrifice themselves. But I have still seen more chances happening in the Italian box than in the German box during these Euros." Muller is yet to score in four appearances at Euro 2016, extending a goalless streak at the tournament which also saw him fail to notch in five games at Euro 2012.</blockquote>
