Football: The Beautiful Game Gets Even More Beautiful with These Extraordinary Players - Hummels uncertain about new contract or ending career

Mats Hummels hasn't decided on his future in sports right after Borussia Dortmund's loss against Real Madrid in the Champions League final. "To be honest, I don't know," said the 35-year-old center-back during an interview with ZDF after the 0:2 on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium. "It feels strange not to know." He'll make the decision "in the upcoming weeks."

Hummels' contract runs out at the end of this month. Before the game, all parties involved stressed that a decision would only be made after the final in this prestigious sporting event. Retirement is the least probable choice, according to him.

The 2014 World Cup winner, who won't be playing in the home EURO, expressed intense pride in his team despite their loss. "We came out with heart and showed great football," said Hummels. "They hit back, as they've done for a century. That really stings today."
