No-Look Pass Backs Rarely End Well

Mats Hummels seemed destined to win this week’s award for worst backpass, especially considering the magnitude of the match. Thankfully, Bayern Munich’s teammate Robert Lewandowski came to the rescue and who the hell remembers Hummels anyway.

Georgian Akaki Khubutia of Mordovia Saransk won’t be quite so lucky. Not only does he not have a freebie into the Champions League final, but his is far worse. Plus they lost. And his club is likely to be relegated.

Apparently it’s not obvious one shouldn’t back-heel a back pass without looking.
