Video interview: BVB legend Mats Hummels looks back on his career

In total, Mats Hummels spent 13 years in Dortmund – and yet he almost chose to join another club in 2007. In a wide-ranging interview, Hummels looked back on an epic career in which he became a German champion, won the double and lifted the World Cup before hanging up his boots this summer. The 36-year-old, who – with 508 competitive appearances – sits in second place on the list of BVB's all-time record players, spoke about his first steps, big moments, the outside of his boot, special games but also bitter defeats. Surrounded by BVB shirts from his great career, he shows his emotions and ranks his greatest moments. Thank you, Mats!
