The new Hammer – arriving at the London Stadium at a cost of around £27 million – saw little action as the Spanish youngsters triumphed 2-1.
Yes, he demonstrated decent movement and was always looking to take up key positions but failed to make a serious impact on the game before being subbed.
He certainly has good touch and clearly enjoys one touch football as he played off one or two very good balls in a manner which demonstrated why the boss likes him.
But in terms of having a real influence on the game we were left a little disappointed although it has to be added that he is obviously a very talented player to be involved given the strength of the young Spanish team.
Spain’s under 21s took the lead early on through Ruiz, added a second through Olmo before Germany grabbed a consolation near the end through Amiri.
