1994 Africa Cup of Nations-winning striker Efan Ekoku has revealed that experienced Germany international Mats Hummels was at fault for the second goal conceded by Borrussia Dortmund in their 3-1 loss to Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
On 33 minutes, Lionel Messi put the ball in the back of the Dortmund net after a terrible mistake from Hummels, who attempted passing the ball to Frenkie de Jong but it was intercepted by a Barcelona player.
During his commentary of the game on BT Sport, Ekoku said : ''For a player of his experience, Mats Hummels, that's unforgivable.
''The team have just conceded the first goal, Barcelona have not really threatened too much despite the dominance and the possession around your penalty box and you play a crazy pass like this.
''That's schoolboy stuff from the most experienced campaigner. Messi took his time, finished with his usual excellence, great setup, unselfish play from Suarez.''
Barcelona have advanced to the Champions League knockout stages for the 13th consecutive year following their victory over Borussia Dortmund.
