Vine: Mats Hummels makes us question everything we thought we knew about defending

Hummels does it again

Ben Kiely

In case you needed further proof, here’s another example of Mats Hummels being a genius at defending.

Borussia Dortmund might have been comprehensively beaten 3-0 by Juventus in their Champions League clash but that hasn’t stopped their talismanic defender from producing the goods.

Just watch how Mats Hummels disposes Alvaro Morata after the forward made a darting run down the flank. The Spaniard was left completely befuddled by the artfully executed non-tackle by the German.

The scary thing about this clip is that he makes it look extremely easy.

I wonder what else Mats the Magnificent has up his sleeve.
