Borussia Dortmund overcame a scare last night after coming back from 3 goals down to win 4-3 in their Europa League qualifier with Norwegian side Odd.
Odd’s pacey winger Rafik Zekhnini caused plenty of problems for their German opponents, and Mats Hummels was quick to heap praise on the player in his post match interview.
At the end of the interview Hummels is shocked to learn that the winger he faced was only 17-years-old. “Really? 17-years-old? What the fuck!” exclaimed the potty mouthed Hummels.
