Hummels apologizes to fans after Roma’s return to Italy | OneFootball

Mats Hummels has found himself at the center of criticism following his costly mistake in the match against Athletic Bilbao.

Hummels’ red card in the 11th minute of Athletic Club-Roma 3-1 has left its mark on the end of Roma’s European campaign and the German defender is personally dealing with the episode he was the protagonist of.

The team returned to Rome during the night and was welcomed by a group of fans at the airport but morale was definitely at rock bottom for many players who didn’t even stop for a second with their supporters.

According to Il Messaggero, however, Hummels himself was among those who spent time with the crowd taking selfies and apologizing again for the mistake he made.

“I’m sorry” he is said to have repeated to the supporters at the airport.

Already on Sunday at 4 pm with the match against Cagliari it will be clear whether the centre-back will receive more support from the public or whether it will be another moment of rupture to be healed.
