Mats Hummels’ future at Dortmund remains uncertain. The veteran defender was visibly emotional after the final whistle today, taking a moment alone on the pitch before heading to the locker room.
Even as his teammates departed, some remaining fans offered a round of applause, which Hummels acknowledged with a touching gesture – repeatedly grasping the BVB badge on his shirt. With his contract expiring in June and talks ongoing, could this be a farewell for Hummels? Only time will tell.
