Mats Hummels' red card costs Roma in Europa League
Mats Hummels received a red card just 11 minutes into the second leg of Roma's Europa League match against Athletic Bilbao, leading to a 3-1 defeat. This loss eliminated Roma from the tournament, with Bilbao winning 4-3 on aggregate. Hummels apologized on social media for his mistake, calling it "stupid and horrendous." He expressed disappointment for letting down his teammates and fans, acknowledging the impact of his dismissal on the team's chances. Despite his experience and past successes, Hummels has not yet won a continental title. He joined Roma this season and has contributed to the team's recent improvement in Serie A under manager Claudio Ranieri.
