Overview
- Mats Hummels, who retired in summer 2025, is serving as a Champions League analyst for Amazon Prime Video this season.
- On his podcast, he disclosed a two-year contract with Amazon and said early on-air nerves quickly gave way to comfort.
- During this week’s coverage with Christoph Kramer, he argued the Premier League has unmatched breadth yet lacks dominance commensurate with its spending.
- Süddeutsche Zeitung situated his view in a broader shift since 2023/24, describing how English clubs used wealth to deepen squads and raise the league’s baseline level.
- BILD rejected the critique, citing that five of the eight teams directly into the Champions League last 16 are English and pointing to Tottenham’s 2–0 win over Dortmund.
