Mats Hummels

When I end my career, I don't need to win eight championships, I'd rather have done something special.

Nobody thought that I could become a professional. I was not that good. It was really just one thing I had fun doing. But it was never realistic for me to become a professional until I became 17 or maybe 18.

You don't often find a team where people are really friends with each other.

Everybody can win things with 25 superstars in the squad.

It's difficult to win trophies with Dortmund but it's always possible. And when it happens, the feeling is simply indescribable.

Training and playing are different things. I've noticed it. If you come in and you realise after six minutes that it is tiring, then that is a clear difference to training.
