Germany forward Thomas Muller has suggested his national side can take inspiration from Real Madrid as they look to rebound from their frustrating draw at Wembley.
Hansi Flick's side opened up a 2-0 lead against England, with Ilkay Gundogan putting away a penalty and Kai Havertz netting from distance. However, goals from Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Harry Kane turned the game on its head before Havertz equalised with his second of the evening.
It was a less than ideal finish for Germany, who were the only opponents to concede to England in their UEFA Nations League group. Muller looked at the positives, though, and believes his experience working under former Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti at Bayern Munich can be a benefit.
"Maybe Real Madrid is an example to us," Muller told media after the game. "I've played for a lot of coaches, including Carlo Ancelotti, who has won the most trophies.
"After things that don't go well, it's all about getting back up and keeping your confidence. We'd do well to follow that."
Ancelotti was in charge at Bayern between 2016 and 2017, taking over after Pep Guardiola left the club. The Bavarian side won the Bundesliga in his one full season, but were eliminated from the Champions League by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

Germany have been drawn in Group E at the World Cup, along with 2010 winners Spain. They begin their campaign in Qatar against Japan in Al Rayyan on November 23, with Spain their second opponents and Costa Rica their third.
Flick's side go into the tournament as third-place finishers in their Nations League group, despite scoring more than England, Hungary or group winners Italy. England, meanwhile, will drop into League B next time around after failing to win a single one of their six games.
"To an extent, we are always going to face pressure, so we need to be exposed to pressure," England boss Gareth Southgate told Channel 4 after the Germany draw. "We played a friendly against Ivory Coast in March and they went to 10 men and it became a non-event and we learnt nothing.
"This week, we've learnt a huge amount. They've had to step forward and come together - it will benefit us in the long run."
England's Word Cup adventure begins two days before Germany's with a match against group B outsiders Iran. Southgate's team, who finished fourth at the last World Cup in Qatar, will then face the United States and Wales.
"Tonight, in the end, a couple of errors have cost us the goals but I'll focus on the fact they played with tremendous spirit and showed a belief that we haven't shown in the last few games," the manager added on Monday night. "I thought the crowd saw that and rose to that."
