The Juventus goalkeeper says he has no intention of disrespecting his opposite number ahead of the quarter-final clash with Joachim Low's world champions on Saturday
Italy captain Gianluigi Buffon insists there will be no inferiority complex when he comes up against Germany's Manuel Neuer, a goalkeeper he once described as "better than him", on Saturday.
Buffon and Neuer will be at opposite ends of the pitch when Italy take on the world champions in the Euro 2016 quarter-finals and the Juventus veteran is relishing the prospect.
"I said Neuer is better than me, because in the end it may be true," he said.
