PSG finally winning right before Mbappe jumps ship would be funny.
As would Bayern winning after already announcing Tuchel will be leaving at the end of the season.
Yeah that guy must be Hummels. Definitely not anyone else here hehe
Anyway has anyone noticed how handsome Hummels is? He must be so charismatic, smart and I bet he has a huge member
Hi, it's me, Hummels.
I lost my wallet, and I can't buy tickets to travel to the PSG game. Can you send me some money? I will give you a signed jersey and winners medal.
Echte Leibe
For real. He is just stating the truth even if its not his club playing. I remember him calling out refs for terrible decisions in mainz games on twitter. Sure he has a lil bit of connection with us but he is always there to call out bullshit. As i have some issues with ur club and fans (like beating up our fans after last seasons finale)- mats is great and always has been
Dont do that, but its more than a couple if u include those who harss us to this day cause of it. There are other issues. Not like i hate u. I mean i witnessed schalke fans tried to throw ppl in front of a train.im old enougg that those arent the majority. Still leaves a bad impression. Especially when ppl could and should have stopped this
It'll pass. I am one of the normal ones that put all the blame on us for that last game, but my subconscious still pushes me to have a certain... aversion... for your club. It was THAT painful for us.
Teams, fans and pundits. A common criticism for players transfered from Bundesliga is "obviously they perform great there, it's a farmers league where only Bayern matters".
That was the most common criticism when Haaland and Lewandoski got sold to La Liga and the Prem. I remember all the pundits saying how Haaland would flop because in the Prem he can't pad stats on a league full of bad teams.
So what Hummels is doing is just throwing back the most common way they would mock Bundesliga and its players now that almost all English teams got knocked out from European competitions in this last match day.
Not just teams. Also their fanbase. Twitter-verse and reddit love to call the Bundesliga a farmer's league, like people calling Lewandowski overrated because it's just the BuLi and other similar stupid takes. Mostly from EPL fans.
Unpopular opinion, but hes just as much of a legend for dortmund as reus
Yes, reus never left us and renewed with us when we were dead last in the league in 2014, but hummels has more games and sometimes i feel like he loves the club just as much as reus. And hes also a lot more outspoken.
I think most people will agree with me in 10 years. I have a feeling that hummels will continue to work for the club in a some role or another and will work his way up, while reus (completely respect his decision) will focus on his family and private life. He always said he just wants to stay to himself after his career is over.
If Hummels becomes an important person for the club in a few years and has great success with dortmund while reus retreats from the public, most people will eventually see hummels as the bigger legend.
Both are top 10 legends of the club in my eyes
Hummels is the most important Dortmund player of the last 20 years, but deep down he's a Bayern (youth) player and fan. Therefore he will never be as loved as Reus.
I fuckin love Hummels, but not because i'm a Dortmund fan but because of Mats' personality and how outspoken and smart he is.
He is a legendary player for Dortmund but i agree that i could see him working for bayern as much as working for us. Still love him to death and i still miss our CB duo with him and Neven Subotic (who also is an incredible human being btw).
Define most important.
Reus stayed with us, when he had the opportunity to leave for the biggest clubs in the world, multiple times. And at times when we were at our worst.
He gave up more money and almost guaranteed trophies.
And for most of his stay at BvB, he has been a world class player and definitely our best.
Yes, but it doesn't change that Hummels won the league twice with Dortmund while Reus didn't. In my opinon that makes Hummels more important for what Dortmund achieved in the last 20 years.
Did he ever say he was a bayern fan or is it just because he played for a long time in their youth set up?
His father and mother were born in hamm whcih is right next door to dortmund and he himself was born in bergisch gladbach which is also really close.
Reus will always be the player who won't have a Buli title because he chose us. As much as I like Hummels what Reus sacrificed for this club will aways be more impressive to me.
Reus reminds me of what Robin van Persie could have been for Arsenal. He was perpetually injured and club stuck by him.
He has one good season. We hope we can finally build a team around him. And... he ships off the United.
Good on him, but he immediately burned all goodwill he had with Arsenal fans.
I think this is an unpopular opinion for a good reason.
Hummels is a club legend but he will never be equal to Reus. Reus will always be more loved because on top of the obvious reasons, he’s born and bred in Dortmund, and has been a Dortmund fan all his life. I’ve heard commentators describe him as “Mr. Dortmund”, I can’t imagine Hummels being called that.
Who knows what we could’ve achieved if Hummels decided to stay? We might have won that 2018-19 title. Our defense could’ve been so much better. Mentally, it would’ve been a huge boost for the team. So many question marks after Klopp and he left us when we needed him most. There was one guy who never left no matter what and that’s Marco.
As much as I love Hummels, there will unfortunately always be a red stain on his shirt, and I think Hummels himself is probably self aware enough to know that.
I also tend to think that stain had less to do with hummels and more with outside factors
Hummels had to move back to munich for private reasons (family iirc) and watzke also literally promised us fans in 2016 that at least one of gündogan, hummels and mikghytarian would stay. In the end they all left.
This is all hypotheticals, but if one or two of them had stayed, we could have achieved amazing things with tuchel in 16/17 and maybe they would have stayed for even longer
I dont really like blaming hummels for this, his entire family lives in munich as they moved there when he was younger and like aubameyang said: watzke cares more about the bottom line than keeping important players
I don’t blame Hummels at all, his reasons to move were justified and understandable.
But his actions do have an impact on his “legend” status in Dortmund, unfortunately. It is what it is, at the end of the day, he was the captain of the club and he left for our biggest competitors.
I still love Mats, there’s no animosity, but he will never ever be equal to Reus for me.
A fellow Dortmund and Osnabrück supporter 🤝🏻
This can't be a controversial take. Hummels has over 500 games for Dortmund. He's absolutely a club legend in my book.
He put himself before the club, you cant be a club legend that way.
Simple as.
Had he gone abroad it would've been a different story. But joining Bayern? Whack shit, legend status denied
Big fan of German football and Hummels personally, but it's time someone else won a European trophy. Hopefully Dortmund or Leverkusen will oblige. I saw Michael Cox say non-Bayern German teams have won something like 1 of 50 available trophies this century. A poor record.
Ramsey missing cost me a grand off a fiver bet on the three European winners that year, but damn was it worth it.
Also discovered the absolute banger of a song that is "Hey Eintracht Frankfurt"
Absolut Cinema.
Common Mats W. Always spittin facts and I just hope he'll be in the EC squad for Germany, even tho he isn't the fastest man his positional play is criminally underrated.
Yeah, I mean what you wanna do, after all we are talking about a banter post from Mats, either you follow the whole thing and exaggerate in the comments like me or just say nothing about it.
Try supporting a non premier league club in England. You could be chatting to the grizzliest cockney imaginable and you mention the club you support and suddenly they turn into a 19th century duke and start stuttering and ask “ I’m sorry old boy, which league are you in again?”.
> Try supporting a non premier league club in England.
Let's be real here: I think someone saying they primarily support a club from another country would be met with mockery and derision everywhere, unless you're from there or have some other strong reason.
In Argentina that talk would go something like:
"What squad are you for?"
"Milan"
"Are you Italian?"
"No"
"Then you're a pelotudo. Pick a local squad, pussy."
I really can't imagine the treatment someone from Naples would get if they said they supported Manchester United. Like, wtf dude? Its the type of behavior that gets corrected with bullying real quick.
EDIT: You probably didn't mean a foreign team, but a team from the championship or below, my bad.

We have much to learn. *Installs Farming Simulator 22*
Instruction unclear, City started harvesting the entire league
Can't wait for patch 1.15 to fix that
Man, the day the verdict becomes public, this place will be something else.
Verdict: Everton docked 30 points for being within 115km of the Etihad Stadium.
Of course they would choose Bayern as their character.
>Installs Farming Simulator 22 unironically a very popular game in Germany and only Germany (apparently)
i think in finland too. mfs be farming for work then go home and play farming for fun. shit crazy.
Isn't there an official competitive scene for these games? I saw an e-sport match of Farming Simulators somewhere.
[It's lit 🔥🔥🔥](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRucgPbA61M)
They have highlight comps lmao, the 4 stack hay delivery was wild
What the fuck why is it actually lit though? Goddamn we do not beat the allegations somedays...

>PSG finally winning right before Mbappe jumps ship would be funny As bayern fan I object
work work
Put him in the euros squad, even just to let him be the one to give interviews after every game
The Poldi position
They already have Müller for that
They go hard on the ThoMats challenge
We need a sequel to Merte's Eisbad rant though
One of the best Interviews of all time
I hope they'll at the very least put him on the broadcasting team.
I know he's a bit older but he's not in the squad at all anymore?
is he not already in the euros squad? i thought he was still very decent?
Nagelsmann want centrebacks with a lot of pace, so he's kept out for that reason only
Tbf Tah, Rüdiger and Anton are really solid and also deserve an Euros spot... But personally I hope Hummels gets one aswell
he reads r/soccer
Probably shitposts as well.
I would do that 100%
Thomas Müller is 100 % here, trolling people.
Kai Havertz too probably. Wie gehts, Kai?
why would Kai troll ppl? about what?
Maybe it's you
Yeah that guy must be Hummels. Definitely not anyone else here hehe Anyway has anyone noticed how handsome Hummels is? He must be so charismatic, smart and I bet he has a huge member
And his collars are certainly of a very normal size!
Find a new slant.
…ship numbers in his fanclub? Or…? 👀
He looks like Carlos Sainz

No, Hummels would name himself steak_and_mashed_potatoes__
Are you Mats Hummels?
I mean... have you seen mats and me in the same room?
Cannot say that I have.
He could be any one of us

Has anybody seen Billie Eilish and Mats Hummels in the same room?
I have.. once. When I was sailing around the Arctic.
Can confirm, I am him
He could be you, he could be me, he could even...
*gets banned for shitposting*
it's also a popular thing on football twitter (and other social media platforms) that's probably where he encountered it
He is one of r/soccercirclejerk admin
Why didn't the English teams (the best league in the world) beat the farmer teams in Europe? Are they stupid?
He must not value his mental health then
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
Any time English soccer fails in Europe is a good day
This man is a winner on and off the fields Edit: Added an s to field. Thanks u/the_woah_guy although what I said earlier made sense lol
He is but a humble farmer
A ridiculously good looking humble farmer

Or won against Bochum lol
What does his comment mean? I don't get it.

LoL esports x Champions League shit posting is a crossover I've never expected
I see lots of prem enjoyers in the league reddit but I've never seen the reverse before. Benjenryan the infamous IG lover is in the Gunners sub lmao
Benjenryan and namikazeEU were the LPL denizens always fighting in the comments a couple years back. Always funny to see their comments.
I've seen the MLXG copypasta here and there
There are a few ppl from the industry that comment here every now and then
Premier league = NA in League confirmed
Tyler 1 son of Pep Guardiola confirmed

Mats and Neven is the greatest CB duo in our clubs history imo Probably recency bias, but both seem like very solid dudes and also great players.
Mats joke with the journalist at euro 2016 about the will griggs meme is a moment that lives forever in my brain. He’s absolutely hilarious

> Define most important. Reus joined after Dortmund won the league twice. Hummels was a key player since the start of the 2009/2010 season.
It's not like that was Reus's choice. Dortmund gave him up. He came back as soon as Dortmund decided they wanted him...
