It was all square between Italy and Germany at the San Siro in Tuesday’s much-anticipated international friendly between the European giants.
The Italians nearly won it 10 minutes from time, but Andrea Belotti’s shot came back off the post, ensuring both Iker Casillas and Gianluigi Buffon walked away with clean sheets.
Twitter had its say on the game, with the players themselves reacting to the draw:

Interplay between Gündogan and Weigl in midfield. I’m not crying, you’re crying.
