Karl-Heinz Rummenigge mocks PVB players Marco Reus and Mats Hummels and advises against Erling Haaland

Rummenigge said Reus settled against Munich and the BVB in 2012, and he said: “He didn’t win many titles there.” Rummenigge said former Bayern Munich professional Hummels “gives the impression that he has problems with speed”, adding that there are good reasons why the defender is not currently considered in the German national team.

On the subject of Haaland, the 66-year-old said: “Bayern Munich has Robert Lewandowski – that’s higher than Haaland. You can’t combine the two into one team, it would be crazy because one would always have to be on the bench.” Make only one recommendation: Hold Robert!”

But he learned from BVB managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke that he “will put everything in the balance, and that Haaland will play in Dortmund for at least another year”. The injured striker’s contract runs until 2024.

Although Dortmund climbed one point over the record champions after Bayern’s error in Augsburg (1:2), Rummenigge confirmed: “Bayern Munich – sorry if I say that now – becomes German champions again this season.” Coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team “will not allow a bad game this season.” Dortmund on December 4 will be a “severe test”, but: “The team is on fire in these matches.”
