Mats Hummels: 'Our Champions League spot is in danger'
Mats Hummels believes Borussia Dortmund are in danger of not qualifying for the Champions League.
Mats Hummels has warned that Borussia Dortmund might not qualify for the Champions League if they don't pull themselves out of their current slump.
Hummels and Dortmund suffered their third loss in their last four Bundesliga games as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Freiburg on Saturday.
Speaking after the game, Hummels told reporters:
"We have to accept criticism for the result. But I will always assess what happens on the pitch as well. We lose a lot of 50/50 challenges. We shouldn't pretend that all the opponents have been better than us recently. Our Champions League spot is in danger. That's the least we should achieve."
Dortmund sit sixth in the Bundesliga table before the remaining fixtures of Matchday 20.
