Borussia Dortmund have held firm against Real Madrid in Saturdayâs Champions League final, thanks in part to Mats Hummels.
The veteran defender remained a reassuring presence for Edin TerziÄâs side in the first half of the Wembley showpiece and added his name to the record books.
He became only the second centre-back to rack up more than 50 challenges in a single campaign of Europeâs elite club competition that carried a potential omen.
Not since LĂșcio in 2009/10 has anyone come close to matching that feat prior to Hummelsâ rock-solid display during the opening 45 minutes.
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?
