Germany produced a scintillating performance to come from behind and beat Portugal 4-2 

‘We had a lot of good aspects, but also a lot of things that we still have to improve. That can cost points in the end.’ Muller said.

‘Now we have three points, now we’re good at it tournament and we have it in our own hands. 

‘Now we mustn’t overdo it or become arrogant – but we can believe in our quality. We can feel a little euphoria.’

The win lifted Germany up to second in the Group F table, a point behind leaders France who were held to a 1-1 draw by Hungary on Saturday and level on points with Portugal who occupy third place.

The Germans will host Hungary in their final group game at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.
