Head coach Joachim Loew said that Germany must move past their "painful" relegation from the top tier of the inaugural Nations League.
"For us, this result is obviously painful, but we must accept it," Loew said on Friday.
The Germans beat Russia 3-0 in a friendly with youngsters Leroy Sane, Niklas Suele and Serge Gnabry scoring the goals, and Loew insisted his side has a bright future.
"Our eyes remain fixed on Euro 2020, for which we will qualify and where we want to send a strong team again," he added.
