In the Champions League final on June 2nd at 3:00 AM, Borussia Dortmund lost 0-2 to Real Madrid and missed out on the Champions League title. After the game, Dortmund center-back Mats Hummels gave an interview to German television station ZDF.
Hummels said: “We played a great game, which may sound crazy, but I am truly proud of the team. I am proud of how we performed in the final, as if all of us had played in a Champions League final before. We played with courage, determination, passion, and class. We launched incredible attacks, but then missed great chances. Then, we made mistakes and Real Madrid seized their chances, as they have done for 100 years, and won. The feeling that we could have won makes the loss even more painful.”
“Real Madrid’s victory also had a bit of luck, just like our way to the final was also based on luck. However, luck was not on Dortmund’s side today, which is really sad.”
“I don’t know if this was my last game for Dortmund. This feeling of uncertainty is strange. Everything will be decided in the coming weeks. I don’t know what will happen in July. I like this uncertainty, but it’s also a bit strange. Losing the Champions League final today, disappointment is always at the forefront.”
