Hummels was one of Dortmund’s highlights in the clash. In addition to scoring the winning goal in the second leg, the defender was also essential for the team not to concede a goal in the duel.
With the result, the German team returns to the Champions League final after 11 years. The last time they reached the final of the tournament, in 2013, Borussia lost to Bayern Munich 2-1.
Now, Dortmund awaits the clash between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to find out their opponent in the final.
