The PSG star said the experience of beating Chile in the Confederations Cup final was enhanced by Germany's experimental squad

Julian Draxler has hailed a young Germany's "unbelievable" Confederations Cup triumph after a final against Chile that may have silenced the tournament's critics, according to the Paris Saint-Germain player.

Lars Stindl's opportunistic first-half goal proved to be the difference between two evenly matched teams at St Petersburg's Krestovsky Stadium, where Joachim Low's inexperienced group held out against the seasoned Copa America holders.

Still only 23, Draxler captained the team throughout the competition and led by example to claim the Golden Ball as player of the tournament.
