Career end
Mats Hummels leaves the place early on when he said goodbye
Convisable farewell to Mats Hummels: The defender was allowed to play for Borussia Dortmund for the last time-and was celebrated frenetically by the BVB fans.
After 17 minutes, Mats Hummels’ appearance was over. Coach Niko Kovac changed the central defender and brought Niklas Süle into play. What is considered a maximum penalty under normal circumstances in football resulted in huge cheering jubilation against Juventus Turin (1: 2).
The BVB fans celebrated the 36-year-old extensively, who ended his active career with the friendly game. His teammates formed a trellis when Hummels left the place. Even before the game, there was great cheering when he entered the lawn to warm up.
After the final whistle, Hummels was aimed at the followers: “I came here 17 years ago as a 19-year-old, as a small child. And grew up with you. I could have imagined nothing better than growing up in this club and in this city.”
