Germany defender Mats Hummels has hit back at fans who jeered Ilkay Gundogan during the World Cup warm-up clash with Saudi Arabia.
Manchester City midfielder Gundogan was whistled upon his introduction as a second-half substitute in the 2-1 win, having received a similar reception in the loss to Austria the previous week.
”You shouldn’t be booing Germany internationals during a home game. Especially when there is such a good atmosphere, like it was at the beginning,” Hummels told reporters.
Hummels, however, encouraged supporters to move on from the episode and unite behind the team as they attempt to defend their World Cup crown in Russia.
