Hummels jokes his side reached UCL final because they are 'nice guys'

Mats Hummels had some choice words for those who viewed Borussia Dortmund as an easy draw in this season's Champions League after firing his team into the final on Tuesday night.

Dortmund held a 1-0 lead from the first leg as the visited the Parc des Princes and Hummels' bullet header sealed their place at Wembley.

Few have rated Dortmund as serious contenders in this season's competition up until now and Hummels has been taking notice.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, he wrote: 'so many teams wanted to play against us.

'Luckily we are really nice guys and made it to the final so that as many as possible of them get the chance.'

Dortmund went through 2-0 on aggregate after Hummels headed in from a corner at the start of second half, moments after PSG had wasted a golden chance to level the tie when Warren Zaire-Emery crashed the ball against the post from close range.

It was one of four occasions on the night when Luis Enrique’s side struck the woodwork. In the end, they paid for their wastefulness in front of goal across the two legs, failing to score form 45 attempts, as Edin Terzic’s clinical visitors dug in to reach their third final where they will face either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich on June 1.

In a first half starved of clear openings, the game almost broke open for both sides after 35 minutes. First Kylian Mbappe was prevented from reaching Fabian Ruiz’s cut-back by a superb interception from Hummels, the defender sliding in to nick the ball away from the France international as he waited to pounce 10 yards from goal.

Dortmund broke, and in a flash Karim Adeyemi was running at an exposed PSG defence. Advancing into the penalty area, he drew back his left foot and fired low only to be denied by a strong palm
