Borussia Dortmund have held firm against Real Madrid in Saturday’s Champions League final, thanks in part to Mats Hummels.

He became only the second centre-back to rack up more than 50 challenges in a single campaign of Europe’s elite club competition that carried a potential omen.

The Brazilian was also part of the team that stunned favourites Bayern Munich to claim the 2010 final under José Mourinho. Will lighting strike twice?
