To say goodbye to his former teammates, Mats Hummels first arrived by plane – and then with an electric scooter. Borussia Dortmund published a video on the X platform showing Hummels riding a scooter through the stadium catacombs before the farewell game of Jakub Blaszczykowski and Lukasz Piszczek. “There was a traffic jam, as always on match day”said Hummels in an interview with Sky about his unusual journey. “I trained in Rome this morning and then came directly by plane. Then there was a traffic jam on the B1 and I wouldn’t have made it on time. So I was able to hear Kloppo’s announcement and warm up properly,” said the new AS Roma signing.
On the sidelines of the farewell game for Blaszczykowski and Piszczek, the 35-year-old, whose contract expired in the summer, was also officially bid farewell by BVB. In addition to Hummels, numerous former BVB professionals were in attendance, as was former coach Jürgen Klopp.
