Tuesday 19 June 2018 12:49, UK
Manuel Neuer views Germany's remaining World Cup group games as finals, following his side's defeat to Mexico.
The reigning world champions are under pressure in Group F as they prepare to take on Sweden in Sochi.
Hirving Lozano's goal was enough to earn Mexico all three points, in a game in which the Germany defence came under heavy criticism.
"From now on, we only have finals. The players have to show what they can do but I am convinced that we can do it," Neuer said at the German team hotel on Tuesday.
"Complaining about what happened doesn't change anything, we all know that.

Should Germany turn things around and go on a winning run to retain the trophy, they would become the first team since the Brazil side of 1962 to do so.
Following Saturday's game against Sweden, Germany will play their final Group F game against South Korea on Wednesday June 27 in Kazan.
