Roma has been eliminated from the Europa League after falling to Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés (3-1), in a match marked by Mats Hummels' error, complicating his future in the Italian club even more.

Just 11 minutes into the second leg of the round of 16, the veteran German defender made a costly mistake. A poor pass in the build-up allowed Sannadi to intercept and face Svilar alone. In a desperate attempt to correct his error, Hummels made a challenge that earned him a red card, leaving Roma with one player less for almost the entire match. Without any chance of a comeback, the Italian side was overcome by goals from Nico Williams (brace) and Berchiche.

End of the road for Hummels at AS Roma

After the game, the former Borussia Dortmund player took responsibility and apologized to his teammates. However, this episode seems to have sealed his time in the Italian capital. His contract expires at the end of the season, and although his future was uncertain before this tie, what happened at San Mamés has tilted the balance even further towards his departure.

Hummels' stint at Roma has been modest, switching between starting roles and long periods on the bench. Now, at 36 years old, the option of a return to the Bundesliga is gaining momentum, while the Roman club seriously considers not extending its bond with the experienced center-back.
