**Hummels' Goal Records at Borussia Dortmund**
The German national team captain Mats Hummel has set a new milestone in his career with a hat-trick against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. The match was played in the UEFA Europa League, and Hummel's three goals secured Germany a comfortable win.
In the first half, Hummel scored twice from the penalty spot to give Germany a 2-0 lead. In the second half, he doubled his tally when he headed in a corner kick after receiving a cross from teammate Marco Reus. This made it 4-0 for Germany, putting Hummel in the record books as the player with the most goals in one UEFA Europa League game.
This achievement is particularly noteworthy because Hummel had previously held the record for most goals in a single UEFA Champions League match, which was also 4 goals. However, the Europa League is considered a more challenging competition due to its larger field and more intense matches.
Muller's performance was not just about scoring goals; he also demonstrated excellent technical skill and composure in front of goal. His ability to influence the game through both offense and defense was evident throughout the match.
The victory over Dortmund comes at a time when Germany is in the midst of a successful run in European competitions. They have already reached the final of the UEFA Champions League this season, which adds to the significance of Hummel's record-breaking performance.
For Hummel, this is another step in his illustrious career that highlights his consistency and dedication to the sport. As he continues to play for Germany, fans can expect more memorable performances like this in the future.
