Jordan Pickford
, who kept a clean sheet for the fourth time in a row, exchanged strips with his German counterpart after the game.
"I said I would ask him [Neuer] for his shirt at the end of the game and I managed to get that and get it signed, so that was nice for me,"

"It was great to play against him with Germany and I will be getting that framed.

Carlo Ancelotti

Real Madrid, and Pickford was asked for his opinion on the appointment of Benitez at Everton, which has caused serious argument among
