The veteran German defender was dismissed 11 minutes in to the second leg defeat to Athletic Bilbao
Mats Hummels apologized for a "stupid and horrendous" red card in Roma's Europa League match against Athletic Bilbao, which contributed to their elimination despite a late penalty. Hummels' early dismissal after giving the ball away and fouling Maroan Sannadi proved costly. He expressed disappointment on social media, feeling he cost the club their dream of winning the Europa League.
