Every time the German touched the ball, he was jeered and booed by the Saudi fans in attendance.
That is likely because of the disparaging comments he has made about the influx of players heading to the Saudi Pro League.
Previously, he said: "It's been said that they play ambitious football there, but it's all about the money. In the end, it's a decision for the money and against football.
"That's when it starts to become difficult for the football we all know and love.
"Everyone has to make that decision for themselves, like Cristiano Ronaldo, who decided to do it towards the end of his career.
"But it becomes very difficult when players, who are in the middle of their career and have the quality to play for the best clubs in Europe, decide to make those changes."
It seems that the fans at the Al Awwal Stadium have not forgotten this and booed his every touch.
