For Mats Hummels, the farewell tour on its way from the football stage started with a draw.
In the first assignment after his cancellation announcement at the end of the season, the Rio world champion in Serie A with AS Rome against record champions Juventus Turin did not go beyond a 1: 1 (0: 1).
After all, for Hummels it is the first point in the third duel with the old lady. Previously, he had only faced Juve in the Champions League. In the round of 16 of the 2014/15 season, he had lost both games with BVB.
Hummels cannot prevent the counter goal
Hummels announced on Friday that he would end. “Now the moment comes around the footballer. After over 18 years with so many things that football gave me, I end my career in summer,” said the 36-year-old in an Instagram video.
The 78-time international went to the Roma last year.
Manuel Locatelli put Juve in the lead (40th), Hummels was not to blame for the goal. Eldor Schomurodow (49.) saved the Romans the point shortly after the break.
The Roma slipped through the draw behind local rival Lazio, who won at Atalanta Bergamo (1-0), to seventh place in the table. Juventus initially climbed in fourth place, but FC Bologna can pass again on Monday evening in the home game against SSC Naples.
