Juventus beat Dortmund in friendly, spoil Hummels' farewell party
dpa Berlin Juventus were the inconvenient guests as they defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1 and spoiled Mats Hummels' farewell party on Sunday. The friendly match was the last one for Dortmund ahead of the start of the new football season in Germany and the club used the occasion to officially say goodbye to their former defender Hummels. Andrea Cambiaso hit the net in the 16th minute and then again in the 53rd before Maximilian Beier pulled one back for the hosts in the 89th. Hummels captained Dortmund and when he was subbed off in the 19th minute, he received a standing ovation from the stadium and a guard of honour from both teams. 'I'm feeling great, it was perfect. I couldn't have imagined something better, to play football seriously again. I had a lot of fun playing here,' Hummels said. Asked whether he was nervous ahead of the match, he said: 'I was as nervous as before many other games because I didn't know where I stood (in terms of fitness). But it went well. I had so much fun.' The defender ended his career after a difficult final season at Roma following his Dortmund exit last year. Hummels was a Bayern Munich academy product and spent two terms each at Bayern and Dortmund, winning five Bundesliga titles and three German Cups with them. He earned 78 Germany caps highlighted by the 2014 World Cup title. Hummels said he could list '100 favourite moments' during his Dortmund career, but he eventually named the first Bundesliga title with the club in 2011 as the top one. 'There are so many great moments and this is beautiful,' he said. He will remain in the sport as a Prime Video Champions League pundit but he also told broadcasters ZDF that he plans no real immediate full return to the pro football scene over the next year or two. Dortmund start the new season with a German Cup match against Rot-Weiss Essen on August 18. Their Bundesliga opener is on August 23 against St Pauli. Coach Niko Kovac will have concerns about defender Niklas Süle, who replaced Hummels but left the pitch with a calf injury shortly before half-time.

Thomas Müller ends 17-year Bayern stint with MLS move
Legendary Bayern Munich attacker Thomas Müller has put an end to a lucrative 17-year senior career at Allianz Arena, putting pen to paper on a two-year deal with MLS outfit Vancouver Whitecaps. The German made his debut for the club in 2008 and has since racked up a staggering tally of 250 goals and 276 assists in over 700 games with the Bundesliga giants. In the nearly two decades with Bayern, the 35-year-old won 13 Bundesliga titles, two Champions Leagues, six German Cups, and eight German Supercups. Müller joins a Vancouver side in need of stardust after their red-hot start to the 2025 MLS campaign cooled off significantly in the early months of summer. Speaking after the signing was announced, Whitecaps FC CEO and sporting director Axel Schuster said, "Thomas is a world-class player – the ultimate Raumdeuter; interpreter of space – known for his elite chance creation, unmatched spatial awareness, and relentless off-the-ball movement. "He not only brings a winning pedigree and exceptional football intelligence, but also a tireless work ethic that will elevate the entire team. Thomas is a natural leader whose passion for the game is infectious. "This is a statement signing by our club and our ownership – a transformative moment for our club and our city. We are proud to welcome Thomas to Vancouver." 📸 Alexander Hassenstein - 2022 Getty Images

Jamala Musiala's injury hits FC Bayern Munich, says Max Eberl
FC Bayern Munich have confirmed that midfielder Jamal Musiala will be out for a long time after examinations by the German champions' doctors revealed that the attacking midfielder sustained a fracture of the fibula associated with a broken and dislocated ankle. The 22-year-old flew from Orlando to Munich on Sunday morning and will undergo surgery soon. The 22-year-old suffered a serious injury during the Club World Cup quarter-final between FC Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain in the USA and had to be substituted at half-time. Max Eberl, FC Bayern board member for sport claimed the injury 'hits' FC Bayern as a club and offered support to the young footballer. 'This serious injury and the lengthy lay-off are a real shock for Jamal and us all. This hits FC Bayern. Everyone knows how immensely important Jamal is for our game and what a central role he has in our team. Furthermore, there's also a huge human impact and we all feel for him: Jamal has just come back from an injury and will now be out for another long period. He'll get everything he needs from us. We'll support him intensively, be by his side and already look forward to when he's back on the pitch,' read the statement by Eberl. Saturday's game also marked Thomas Muller's storied Bayern Munich career reaching a quiet end at the FIFA Club World Cup, with the veteran forward choosing to sidestep farewell fanfare in the wake of teammate Jamal Musiala's devastating injury. The 35-year-old, who has made 756 appearances in Bayern colors, had hinted in recent days that he was ready to walk away from the only club he's ever known. Muller had reportedly hoped to extend his Bayern deal, but the club declined, prompting speculation about a move to Major League Soccer. An offer from Los Angeles FC is said to be on the table, though Muller remains noncommittal as reported by Xinhua. Across his career, Muller won 13 Bundesliga titles and six German Cups with Bayern, scoring 250 goals and providing 283 assists along the way. He is the top German scorer in UEFA Champions League history, with 57 goals in the competition.

Stuttgart survive late Bielefeld scare to win German Cup
Goals from Nick Woltemade, Enzo Millot and Deniz Undav had Stuttgart three up inside 28 minutes and cruising against Bielefeld, just the fourth third division side to make the final in the competition's 82-year history. Millot added a second with 66 minutes and Stuttgart looked to have the job done, but a Julian Kania strike and a Josha Vagnoman own goal with the clock ticking down made Stuttgart sweat. They however held on to claim their fourth German Cup and their first since 1997, when the then Joachim Loew-coached side again triumphed against third-flight opponents Energie Cottbus. The win means Stuttgart, who finished ninth in the regular season, will join Freiburg in next season's Europa League. Stuttgart's Angelo Stiller shone in the middle of the park, setting up goals for his Germany teammates Woltemade and Undav, showing the passing prowess that has him earmarked as Toni Kroos' replacement. The trophy is also just rewards for Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeness, who took over with the club sitting dead last in April 2023 before guiding them to second place and a return to the Champions League last season. Bielefeld rode an underdog wave into the German capital, having beaten four first division sides on their way to the final including defending champions Bayer Leverkusen in the semis. Bielefeld however spurned a golden chance to open the scoring with 11 minutes played when unmarked Sarenren Bazee blasted his shot against the crossbar with an open goal beckoning. Stuttgart made Bazee and Bielefeld pay just four minutes later. Stiller threaded the ball to Woltemade, who shed his defender and guided it home. The goal rattled Bielefeld and Stuttgart took advantage, scoring again in the 22nd minute through Millot. Stiller kickstarted a counter in his own half and Undav took advantage of a defensive mishap, collecting the ball on the halfway line and marching goalwards before finding Millot to tap into an empty net. Stiller again created Stuttgart's third, sliding a ball to the feet of the onrushing Undav, who placed the ball in the bottom corner. With the red and white half of the 74,000-strong Olympic Stadium already celebrating a pending cup victory, Stuttgart took their foot off the pedal as Bielefeld tried to limit the damage. When Millot scored his second with 66 minutes played, the France midfielder removed his shirt, jumped a fence and ran towards the crowd at the Stuttgart end, knowing victory was surely theirs. Bielefeld gave their supporters something to celebrate when Kania scored with 82 minutes gone; the goal was the first scored by a third-flight side in a German Cup final. Three minutes later, Bielefeld pressed Vagnoman into an own goal, which silenced the Stuttgart fans. Bielefeld pressed and won repeat corners deep in injury time but were unable to cut the gap further and Stuttgart held on. Stuttgart now have four German Cups. Only five sides -- Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund and Schalke -- have won more.
