Centre-backs and defenders in general are not supposed to be able to thread the needle in the attacking third, but nobody told that to Mats Hummels.

After casually strolling into the attacking third, he slid a majestic pass into Marco Reus who only needed one touch to finish.

That is a thing of beauty.

Keep an eye on Hummels after he makes the pass too, he already working to get back into position. A moment of magic from the World Cup winner.
