Euro 2020: Klinsmann admits Harry Maguire reminds him of Lucio as England beat Germany

Harry Maguire's sturdy display at the back in England's 2-0 win over Germany had Jurgen Klinsmann raving about the defender - and compared him to his former Bayern Munich star Lucio.

Maguire was part of a three-man defence alongside John Stones and Kyle Walker but stood out thanks to his confidence to take the ball into midfield, while also keeping things solid at the back to deny the Germans and keep a clean sheet.

And his display received particular praise from former Germany and Bayern boss Klinsmann, who hailed the Manchester United captain as a 'leader' who grabs the game by the scruff of the neck.
