The 26-year-old has netted just 23 times in 89 appearances for the Blues across his two seasons, with recently reporting that the forward could be offered an escape route to Serie A giants Juventus. Speaking after his brace against the Italians, Timo Werner couldn't hide his pleasure at scoring for his country, as he told UEFA.com (per ): "Of course it was nice to score twice tonight, goals are always enjoyable. I always try to give my best for the team so it was nice to be rewarded with two goals. I'm still working on other aspects of my game though, because there were things I did well and a few things I didn't. "We wanted to get at our opponents early and disrupt their game which we managed to do very well tonight. This was the first match out of the four where we were able to dominate the game, execute our pressing and show what we're really capable of."
