On May 16, the German national team announced the full squad for Euro 2024, and Hummels, who plays for Dort, was not called up by coach Julian Nagelsmann. Such a decision has caused a lot of controversy.

As the host country, Germany's goal is naturally to win the championship in this European Cup. There is no dispute that the selection of Rudiger, Gundogan, Kai Havertz, Wirtz, Muller and others will be selected. However, Nagelsmann does not seem to approve of the 35-year-old Hummels, the 35-year-old who reached the Champions League final.

Hummels doesn't deserve to play at the European Championships? The answer is no.

In the 2023-24 season, Hummels made 24 appearances in the Bundesliga and also scored three goals; He made 12 appearances in the Champions League, contributing one goal and one assist. As early as May 2010, Hummels made his German debut, and now the 35-year-old Hu shows no signs of declining.

In the two legs of the Champions League semi-final Dort vs Paris Saint-Germain, Hummels delivered a dominant performance:

In the first leg, Hummels defended Mbappe without temper and won the MVP of the Champions League; In the second leg, Hummels scored with a header, killing Paris's hope of a comeback and winning the Champions League MVP again. 2 heavyweight Champions League battles, Hummels 2 MVPs, Mbappe was prevented, and 1 goal was scored, the level of the world's top central defender.

Whether at Bayern Munich or Borussia Dort, Hummels maintained a very high level of competition. Standing at 1.91 meters, Hummels is not afraid of aerial confrontations; The 180-minute clash with Kylian Mbappe proved that Hummels is not afraid of a speedy striker. Such a good Hummels can't play in the European Cup, it's really unjust.

Two days earlier, Bild had broken the news that Nagelsmann had decided to drop Hummels and not call him up for the European Championships. On social platforms, fans exploded: without Hummels? This is wrong and the German team will regret it. Hummels has been in better form since April, and he needs experienced defenders to play hard.

Hummels' path to the national team could be over. In May 2010, the 21-year-old made his international debut under Loew. With 78 appearances, five goals and one World Cup title, Hummels has had his international career with highlights and regrets – losing hope of winning the European Championship in the last attempt.
