'The feeling now is different' - Hummels confident Germany will avoid repeat of World Cup humiliation at Euro 2020

The Borussia Dortmund man is confident that Joachim Low's side can exorcise their ghosts following his recall to the international fold

Mats Hummels says that he is certain Germany will avoid major tournament humiliation at Euro 2020, three years on from their dismal title defence at the Russia 2018 World Cup.

Joachim Low's side head into this summer's rearranged pan-continental tournament looking to atone for a shock group-stage exit in their last competition, having entered among the favourites to defend the crown they won at Brazil 2014.

Hummels, recalled alongside Thomas Muller to the international set-up for the first time since an effective early retirement following those failures, feels however that the assembled squad hold a greater camaraderie this time around - one which will ensure they do not make another early departure.
