UEFA Champions League 2019/20, Borussia Dortmund 0-0 FC Barcelona: Hits and Flops

#2 Hit: Mats Hummels

Hummels put in his best performance of the season so far

The experienced defender put in perhaps his best performance of the season thus far. It’s performances like these that have made many to believe that if he was playing last season, Dortmund would have won the Bundesliga.

Alas, the experienced Centre Back made his return to the Westfalenstadion in the summer, after three extremely successful seasons at Bayern.

From the first minute to the last, Mats Hummels led his backline with authority and confidence. With a plethora of the world’s best attacking talents in front of him, Hummels held the hand of his younger Centre Back partner Manuel Akanji to an outstanding clean sheet.

The 30-year-old completed three tackles, 10 clearances and seven interceptions in a commanding man of the match performance. His teammates will need him to be in a similar vein of form when they travel to the Nou Camp.
