Hummels accuses Real Madrid of disrespect
Hummels: 'Real Madrid showed a lack of respect'
Hummels: 'Real Madrid's behaviour was unacceptable'
Mats Hummels has accused Real Madrid of showing a lack of respect during their Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday night.
The German defender was involved in a heated exchange with Real Madrid players after the Spanish side had won the game 2-1.
Hummels claims that Real Madrid players were mocking Borussia Dortmund's players after the game and that their behaviour was unacceptable.
"I think Real Madrid showed a lack of respect after the game," Hummels said. "They were mocking us and laughing at us. It was unacceptable."
"We fought hard in the game and we didn't deserve to be treated like that. Real Madrid are a great team but they should show more respect to their opponents."
Hummels' comments are likely to further increase the tension between the two clubs. Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have a long history of rivalry and the two sides have met in several high-profile matches in recent years.
The latest meeting between the two clubs was a particularly heated affair, with both sides playing aggressively and the game being marred by several incidents of ill-discipline.
Real Madrid eventually won the game 2-1, but Hummels' comments suggest that the ill-feeling between the two clubs is likely to continue for some time to come.
