Mats Hummels released an apology on his social media following his costly red card which compromised Roma’s return leg with Athletic Club.
After the match, the German defender – whose mistake forced Roma to play for the majority of the game with only 10 men – wrote the following message on Instagram.
“I am sorry. I want to apologize to our fans and my teammates.
I let everyone down today with a mistake that was simply stupid and horrendous.
These games used to be the games my team could rely on me, now i fu**** up and cost the whole club the dream of winning the Europa League.
Don‘t know what else to say, I am as disappointed in me like all of you.”
