The show stopper admitted that the players fought in the final but deemed the late winner by Arjen Robben as ‘unfortunate’ for his side.
The goalkeeper admitted that his side gave Bayern Munich tough time in the final and insisted that his team was unlucky not to have won the trophy at the end of 90 minutes.
“We’re proud to have given Bayern a real game tonight. We played well but it wasn't meant to be,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.

The defender accepted that it was very hard for his side to leave the ground losing, as the players were prepared for extra-time. However, Hummels takes a lot of positives from the season and is impressed with the way his team performed throughout the season in Europe.
“We feel pride but also disappointment when you lose a match in the 90th minute. But we were a little tired at the end and Bayern took advantage of that. We didn't have enough possession and it told in the end. It’s hard to lose like that,” he concluded.
Borussia Dortmund have had a mixed season, as they finished second on the Bundesliga standings table and lost the final to their bitter rivals, Bayern Munich. The team has a tough task ahead next season as Mario Gotze has already left the club.
