Sergio Ramos was heartened by Spain's fighting spirit and "hunger" against Germany, as well as the performances of their young debutants in the dramatic 1-1 draw in League A, Group 4 of the Nations League.
Timo Werner crowned a wonderful team move early in the second half to put Joachim Low's Germany in front and their lead might have been greater but for a fine showing from Spain goalkeeper David de Gea in Stuttgart on Thursday.
Spain also had their chances, the last of which fell to Jose Gaya – the Valencia full-back who made no mistake after popping up inside the opposition box in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
