Dortmund vs Juventus match review, 10:30 p.m. August 10: Hummels' gift

Dortmund vs Juventus form

Dortmund will close their pre-season friendly campaign with a match against Juventus at Signal Iduna Park, which will be the last match for legendary captain Mats Hummels in the yellow and black jersey.

The 36-year-old centre-back will take to the field to say goodbye to the fans, who have always given him special affection during his 13 years playing for the Ruhr giants.

With the match having a meaning beyond the friendly framework, Dortmund of course really want to win to help Hummels' farewell day on the pitch more complete. But of course, the home team's opponent is not just traveling to Germany to play around.

Speaking before the match, coach Igor Tudor affirmed that he and his players will enter the match with a serious attitude. Juve is in dire need of careful preparation for the new season with the goal of competing for the title after only finishing 4th in Serie A last season.

But in reality, with not so abundant potential at present, the scenario of the Old Lady being able to compete equally with top candidates in the domestic arena such as Inter Milan or Napoli is not an easy problem to find a solution to.

So far, the Turin giants have only spent a total of 11.4 million euros to bring in two new players, Jonathan David and João Mário. Meanwhile, in the opposite direction, Randal Kolo Muani, Samuel Mbangula, Alberto Costa and Timothy Weah have all left.

Like Dortmund, Juventus gathered quite late due to their busy participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, a tournament where Tudor's team had to stop in the round of 16 after a 0-1 defeat to Real Madrid. About a week ago, the Bianconeri had their first match, facing lower-ranked opponent Reggiana AC.

Despite fielding a strong lineup, Juventus were eventually held to a 2-2 draw by the team that finished 14th in Serie B last season. The result was clearly not satisfactory for Turin fans, who wanted their team to show a more positive side instead of a lack of focus and superficiality, especially in defense.

In contrast to Juve, Dortmund also played a friendly match 7 days ago but got a very positive result. The 3-2 victory in the encounter with Lille helped the team at Signal Iduna Park extend the winning streak since the 2-3 defeat by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.

With careful preparation and a winning spirit on Hummels' farewell day, coach Kovac's team will probably bring joy to the fans.
