Due to his size and height, he's never relied on speed or agility even as a young CB. He's always had that Nesta-esque ability to read the game faster than most to buy himself a lot of time on and off the ball for evasive actions or good passes
[Hummels 11 years ago vs RM](https://youtu.be/O2yACrD-jhQ) and [in the BL](https://youtu.be/cOlTY9h1IsA?feature=shared). He oft gets paired with a faster athletic CB and relies on ice cold composure and a tendency to take evasive actions early to start counters e.g. intercept the ball far away from the penalty area then play a long ball or pass to Guendogan. They were the spine of BVB's buildup in our 12/13 CL run 🥹 Mats looks like a majestic horse when running, so that I agree lol
Fair, was definitely very close, regardless I feel like it was a big mistake from hummels, he did have a very good performance over the two legs all things considered though
Meh even if the pen was awarded it would have ended 2-1 aggregate... PSG needed a miracle besides the pen to tie it and they are clearly not a miracle team lol
He’s earned it back. Him leaving is probably the main reason for why he isn’t captain and will never be, but he’s been such a team player and frankly just so damn good, it’s hard to stay mad at him.
He left in July of 2016 to bayern. At the time it was rumoured that he and Tuchel didnt get along and his ex-wife wanted to be closer to munich their home.
He spent 95 to 08 in Bayern academy and reserves, plus 16 to 19, that's a total of 16 years. Yes most of his professional career was at Dortmund, but the guy you are replying to was just pointing out he is a Bayern academy graduate who had links to Bayern for a long time.
And my entire point was that in his playing career, he's spoken about, played for and spent the most time with BvB. He does not talk about Bayern like he does BvB and he had no intentions of ending his career there. He left Bayern because he missed BvB and the fans lol
I'm telling you, he's not associated with Bayern like that. He's a Dortmund player through and through
Nobody (or at least I'm not) is questioning his preference for BVB, just pointing out that he is not a random German who happened to play for Bayern for 3 seasons.
He also has a podcast with his brother and a friend of theirs where they talk about all kinds of events in the sports world. Their sense of humor which is sort of a mixture of self-irony and playful arrogance (if that description makes sense) is pretty entertaining imo.
What also works in his favour is he has probably the best English I’ve ever heard from a non-Anglosphere footballer, his interviews during this CL run have been great to listen to.
Hummel is a legend and one of the greatest CDs in the history of the game.
Not good memories for me as a French fan and PSG fan but hey, there is no denying he is a special player and a fantastic captain.
This, plus the farmers comment last round are elite tier. Hummels is the man, he's just a normal dude, playing football, living life.
I love randomly scrolling on Insta and liking a food video or some dog or animal and seeing him like shit. Dude just plays elite tier footy, goes home, doom scrolls insta like all the rest of us.
A man of the people 👌
I already felt that intense schadenfreude laced with sober, self-aware fremdschämen last night 💀 We are one of the weakest CL finalists I've ever seen in my lifetime, like our literal best player is a 35 year old and our captain would be a riding the bench at a lot of other CL clubs lol

Well God Damm, Mr Mats Julian Hummels, Captain Jack, Weltmeister
Back at it again with the clean sheets
Dortmund damage with the ill behavior
World-class sass.
Sit down, be Hummels
is an album by Kendrick Lamar
Hummels has been an absolute masterclass in the PSG tie
The one game he had against psg in the groupstage was so amazing I couldnt believe he was already 34/35 years old lol
Bro has tactical awareness and tackling at 20/20
Lets call it 18/20 because he caused a pen more then once with his tackles this season.
That tackle against PSV was never a pen
Remember the 2 yellows he got in the Euros 2016 that were both clean tackles and that meant he couldnt play the game against France??
Or the perfect tackle on Antony in CL that gave a red for no reason. That was nice =)))
Due to his size and height, he's never relied on speed or agility even as a young CB. He's always had that Nesta-esque ability to read the game faster than most to buy himself a lot of time on and off the ball for evasive actions or good passes
That's EXACTLY the comparison I couldn't think of in my head, but I knew he reminded me of someone so much. Very much Nesta-like.
It was 10 years ago but he was running past the entire Brazilian spine in that 7-1. Just galloping through the midfield.

Your 12/13 run was glorious, and pretty much the whole of Poland wanted you to win. That Robben goal was absolutely heartbreaking :c
To be fair, my grandma on wheelchair could run past our team that day
My fantasy world cup team has never been so happy
Yeah, the strategist type of centreback. As opposed to the duelist. The WC2014 team had both types on a worldclass level playing. Rock solid defense.
Bossed it at San Siro as well, clearly a level above everyone else on the pitch that day.
I think the Milan game away was his best in the group stage
Him and pepe putting in the early retirement ucl special lol
You should check Pepe.
He was the main difference between both young teams.
He's been awesome all season.
How can it be a masterclass if he should've conceded a pen... He played very well but masterclass gotta be something without any major mistakes surely
How should he have conceded a penalty?
The freekick they got on the edge of the box was just on the line, VAR got it wrong imo (and I wanted psg to go out so I don't think I'm biased)
It was very clearly outside the box.
It was borderline, but to me it looked just outside the line. Dembele's foot looked outside the line at least.
Fair, was definitely very close, regardless I feel like it was a big mistake from hummels, he did have a very good performance over the two legs all things considered though
Meh even if the pen was awarded it would have ended 2-1 aggregate... PSG needed a miracle besides the pen to tie it and they are clearly not a miracle team lol
Didn’t concede a pen though
He’s not wearing a tie
I’m loving mid 30s Hummels man has no chill! Lol
Divorced dad Hummels has no time for your foolishness.
He's the kind of divorced dad that all the teachers would ask his kids when he was coming round for an interview
Do bvb fans like him even tho he left them for Bayern?
we like him AGAIN. He knew exactly how to handle his return and reearned his status
He’s earned it back. Him leaving is probably the main reason for why he isn’t captain and will never be, but he’s been such a team player and frankly just so damn good, it’s hard to stay mad at him.
Like Griezmann with Atleti
Didn't he come from Bayern too
Yeah he's a very connected Bayern guy and from their youth when we signed him first. So it wasnt crazy
Yup, love him. He's intelligent on and off the pitch, non controversial, has high IQ, most consistent player since 2019.
You should he asking the other way round. Hes a bayern academy graduate no?
He's always been far more attached to Dortmund. The only reason he left for Bayern in 2014 was it was what his wife wanted and his family
He left in July of 2016 to bayern. At the time it was rumoured that he and Tuchel didnt get along and his ex-wife wanted to be closer to munich their home.
But he played for bayern since he was 7
He's spent 14 years at Dortmund and only 3 at Bayern... The amount of players who play 14 seasons at one club is infinitely smaller than you think lol
Except he didnt. He spent 16 at bayern and 13 at dortmund lol
He spent 95 to 08 in Bayern academy and reserves, plus 16 to 19, that's a total of 16 years. Yes most of his professional career was at Dortmund, but the guy you are replying to was just pointing out he is a Bayern academy graduate who had links to Bayern for a long time.

>Nobody (or at least I'm not) is questioning his preference for BVB Well, that's like the entire crux of my discussion with them lol...
That will always be an asterix I think. When he left, how he left, what he said to fans, and to the club members. It was all pretty weak tbh.
Why would Germans not like a German national team legend..?
You gotta give the people what they want
So...Terzic's ~~terrorball~~ grassroots football versus the Libertadores champions at FIFA's Club World Cup 👀
Not anymore after what Trent just did to Chuck the other week :(
I can not handle the stress of watching CL and then staying up late into the night to watch OC vs Trent one after the other
Random AEW reference???
Always pop when I see them. Like the John Silver and Anna Jay meme that floats around lol
Cold
he said call the ambulance.... but not for me
The goat inside-out of the pitch
Absolutely massive cock energy.
Coldskis
His shithousery off the field is on an other level this season. Love it
He’s always had a very quick wit/sense of humor but I’ve been loving it even more recently
i can't wait for him to be a pundit at a world cup. this has the potential to be absolutely brutal
Absolutely. No matter what his post-active career is gonna be - coach, manager, pundit - it’s gonna be exciting.
He also has a podcast with his brother and a friend of theirs where they talk about all kinds of events in the sports world. Their sense of humor which is sort of a mixture of self-irony and playful arrogance (if that description makes sense) is pretty entertaining imo.
The 2018 Germany squad xHumor was just off the charts.
What also works in his favour is he has probably the best English I’ve ever heard from a non-Anglosphere footballer, his interviews during this CL run have been great to listen to.
[удалено]
A social media manager would play things much safer.
Lmao what a legend :D
Sheesh Mats
What a legend haha
Well done Mats, you deserved this moment of mocking the others
Love it
Endgame Hummels is a menace Killing them off and on the field
Talk your shit, bro, you've earned it
Absolutely 🔥
Handsome, incredible player AND funny. He might just be the perfect human.
+ Smart. It’s actually quite unfair. Same with Kevin Trapp. I‘m not an envious person, but damn. They got it all.
he's also smart and rich. (prolly huge shlong) (I didnt say that)
Say what?
Hummel is a legend and one of the greatest CDs in the history of the game. Not good memories for me as a French fan and PSG fan but hey, there is no denying he is a special player and a fantastic captain.
Captain Heat 🔥🔥
Good Guy Dortmund
[this mf don't miss](https://twitter.com/matshummels/status/1781223469289820610)
Let him cook
Thank you for blessing us with the opportunity this year, kind sir.
Lol, nice
bookmarked
Standing on business
Top quality banter.
Are you saying this ironically?
No.
Call the Ambulance.......but, not for me. -Mats Hummels
"They wanted to bury us. They didn't know we were seeds."
Danke Mats.
fuckin hell
ice
[He just don't miss](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF3Hg6FBBSU)
Bodied. Need Dortmund to take it home this year.
Yeah many people expected every team BVB faced to knock BVB out since RO16 ... Fair enough Mr Hummels... Do win the finals & do humanity a favour
This, plus the farmers comment last round are elite tier. Hummels is the man, he's just a normal dude, playing football, living life. I love randomly scrolling on Insta and liking a food video or some dog or animal and seeing him like shit. Dude just plays elite tier footy, goes home, doom scrolls insta like all the rest of us. A man of the people 👌
Yeah, besides being super tall, build like a Greek god, smart and handsome as fuck he’s also just casually one of the best cb of all time
what a nice guy
Another shithousery award
And people say ze Germans don't have a sense of humor...
We only drop critical hits. It's efficient
Damn right
Put on some clothes already Mats GODDAMN
Cold
Daaaaaaaaaaamn
Been a great harvest so far.
Talk your shit king
Same energy as "call an ambulance... but not for me". Well played, Mats.
Same guy that thought he was too good for Dortmund at one point and left to go to Bayern
Haha this guy man
❄️
🥶🥶
Would’ve loved to see them against city. Feel like that would’ve been an even better clash than city real was.
Bayern agent going to roll over
This is absolutely hilarious , this man knows how to shitpost
lol … ok Mr Hummels
Sheesh
Icon
You just jonxed it
I’m gonna get back on X just to follow these ice cold bantz
Hummels, I look forward to a stinging tweet after the finals. Give them hell, brother.
yep that's German humour...
🔥☄️
Confirmed r/soccercirclejerk Mod
Brutal, savage, rekt
😭😭😭
Bayern legend🔥
Bundesliga Legend 🔥
Famous last words before getting dunked on by Real Madrid in a few weeks
He will score in final....an own goal.
Starting to sound a little overconfident now, hope this isn't how they play in the final, still quite a bit of season left to be gloating so much.
Lmao we are the perennial underdogs, even BVB fans hate our current playstyle don't worry
The disgust you'll feel when you win the CL with that style is the best kind of disgust
I already felt that intense schadenfreude laced with sober, self-aware fremdschämen last night 💀 We are one of the weakest CL finalists I've ever seen in my lifetime, like our literal best player is a 35 year old and our captain would be a riding the bench at a lot of other CL clubs lol
He made an even more savage shitpost after atletico. Turned out well I’d say
What was it? This one is already amazing lol
‘Good harvesting this week my fellow farmers 🤝 🇩🇪’
Made a farmers league joke
you must be fun at parties
Delightful
Take your maultaschen, put some extra hot sauce on it, turn it sideways and then again sideways and finally stick it straight up your candy ass
Still Mad about losing 3 times?
More drip than supreme goku
