Mats Hummels sees FC Bayern as the favourite in the Champions League tournament. Above all, a player from his former club impresses the defender.
From Friday, FC Bayern will be reaching for the Champions League victory. In the quarter-finals, FC Barcelona will be waiting for them at the final tournament in Lisbon (Champions League: FC Barcelona – FC Bayern on Friday at 9 pm)
Ex-player Mats Hummels sees the FCB as one of the top favourites for the third possible title this year. “They played an impressive second half of the season. For me they are one of the two or three top favourites,” Hummels said when asked at the training camp of runner-up Borussia Dortmund in Bad Ragaz/Switzerland.
Robert Lewandowski is a guarantee for success for Hummels. “For me he is the best centre forward in the world right now. Benzema may also have a say, but Lewy is the best,” said Hummels, adding: “He has everything. He plays along, scores goals and works for the team. I have no more demands on a player.”
